Just came back from a 14-day holiday. I had to charge my reader twice*, with heavy reading, whenever I could (which was most of the days, cruising the Atlantic and Pacific coasts).
*actually, 4 times, see below.
I noticed one thing though. I never updated my firmware, so I still have the original battery bug (which will drain your battery within a few hours). I never had it happen before, this time I did. I decided to charge my device after it reached about 20%. The next morning it was full, so I started to read in the evening again. And found the reader empty to 6%. And that's without reading!
So, I used a few precious internet minutes to search this forum for the auto-sync line, connected my reader to my tablet, and updated the file. And was able to read again for a week again.
So, after a week (and 3 more books), my battery was getting flat again, so I charged it again overnight. Same problem as before: the next afternoon it was empty again. I checked the config file and the setting was still there. So, I charged again, and could finish 2 more books. But then a pattern started to show itself and I started to think back...
I never charge my reader using a wall charger. I always use my PC.
It started draining fast after I used a wall charger. It drained normally after I had it attached to my tablet. The same for the second time. So, when we were almost at our destination, I decided to charge the reader a last time (using the wall charger) and then simply connect it to my tablet, just to connect. It now drains normally again.
