Yes, they said the hibernate(suspend-to-flash) consumes very small energy.. but it takes 10 seconds (according to them) to get back from hibernate. I won't use that while reading or note-taking...it's just a fast booting. So, it seems there's no way to achieve, say 24 hours, of reading.... that's not only less than their advertisement, but also significantly less than other devices.

In my view, they had to finish the software first, discover the problem, fix hardware/software together, and then sell the product. Maybe they could offer battery upgrade program like iLiad..but I don't know if DR has any more space..
