I know I read most of a 600-page book yesterday and the battery dropped to about 50%, but since the thing was also indexing like mad (I've dumped my sideloaded stuff on there), I'm not sure that's remotely meaningful: meaningful stats may have to wait until indexing has finished, not that there seems to be an easy way to tell when that is these days, now that the search panes never tell us if books have been indexed or not. Left it connected to the cover and the internal battery was back at 96%-and-not-charging when I looked again less than an hour later.
Performance was impressive, though -- I noticed this on the PW1, too. The rewritten indexer in fw 5.6.x has completely solved the 'put new books on, now the thing runs like a dog for hours and the battery vanishes at horrifying rates' problem. This just goes to show how inefficient the old indexer must have been.
