Ok, I have now done 2 cycles through my PRS 505 battery, and came up with very similar results.

I have also tried fully charging and then sitting and pressing the page turn button. Got over 7500 and got bored and gave up (it must have been nearly empty as it was over 1000 page turns after the Low Battery warning).

So it seems sony is telling the truth with its battery life claims. I got over 4000 page turns before reaching the low battery warning, and it seems I could get more if I continued reading rather than charging at that point. As I read a lot out of the house I don't like to leave it at that stage because it would be a pain if the battery ran out.

Anyway, thought you'd all like to know I tried it and it does work!
