Are you saying that your wifes PRS505 will last for a couple of months on a charge? As Astra pointed out, the shelf life of the rechargeable batteries in the PRS505s seem to be between 3-4 weeks weather you use it or not, they aren't like alkaline batteries that can sit on shelfs for years at a time without much drainage... While I may get a month out of a charge, I too only read about 800-1000 pages per charge... I don't read more than an hour or so a day, sometimes not for a few days. But I would say that it isn't unusual to get 3 weeks and 800 pages. Now if you were only getting 800 pages in a week before the battery was gone, that would be not right...
