Did Sony lie to me?
I love my Sony 505. It works just the way I need it to, handles the way I want it to, and is as convenient as I expected it to be. But...
Sony's advertising says that the 505 gets about 7,000 page-turns on one battery charge (assuming that one isn't using the audio at the same time.) I always let my device discharge until the warning signal goes on for low battery then immediately plug it into an AC wall charger. I used to charge it until after the red light went off. Then I began charging it for a couple of hours longer after the light went off. I've recharged it at least a dozen times now, but it seems that I only get about 2,000 page-turns at the most on a single charge. I even tried letting it charge through the USB cable leaving it on overnight. Still only about 2,000 page-turns to a charge. Anyone else finding this to be the case?
I realize that when new the battery needs to go through several cycles before it will take a full charge, but isn't a dozen enough?
