Barry;

Sounds like the small battery gets cycled too often if the reader is used very much, particularly if used without the battery cover that keeps the internal battery charged. After all many Lithium Ion batteries seem to have their life rated by the number of charge/discharge cycles they are subject to. I have multiple Voyages and so far see nothing that makes the Oasis G8 attractive in comparison to that one, still my favorite 6" reader.
