Since the last firmware update I no longer have any complaints with my DR. Previously the pen-bug drove me nuts because it meant I couldn't switch off two of the sensors (to make the DR easier to hold) without the risk of losing pen functionality and hence dictionary look-up. Since the firmware update the pen-bug has completely vanished (thanks iRex!).
As for battery-life, the other day I read my digital reader pretty much non-stop for a full 10 hours. I did dock it a few times but only for 5 minutes here and there while I made a cup of tea and rested my eyes. I don't think the battery dropped below 40%. Unless you are going to be travelling and won't have access to power for a few days I don't think the DR's battery life is an issue.
