I've been using my Cybook for about the same amount of time as Captaingeorges. My battery is also now failing (which is how I caused the flash wiping issue I posted recently). It used to be I could go a week between charges. Now it seems like it goes from 100% to 20% (and then 0) in about 2-3 days.

I have been nearly completely discharging it before recharging over the year.

One observation I have is that the power really started failing in December which is when I was reading while in Zurich and catching busses and trains when the temperature was c. 0°C. I wonder if operation in the cold weakened the battery somehow.
