Well, there is little I can say about power-saving at the moment apart from the fact that it is better than the Iliad...:-)
I have had the device on nonstop now for about 24 hours. I read perhaps a hundred pages, played around wiht settings, removed and reinserted the SD card, opened files, set bookmarks, deleted files, updated the firmware and played around with the text-enlarging function.
The device is still running and has only lost the first battery bar. (there are 4 alktogether) so I would say that if you just use the device for reading there is no way you'll run out of power quickly...^^
I'll continue to use the device for reading and will avoid connecting it to the computer so that it can't recharge.
I'll keep you all posted on the further battery-life results.
As for getting PDf on the device, I would not bet on it. If someone hacks the firmware and creates more viewers for it, perhaps, but I guess Staretek is focusing on the -stk format for now.

I don't know about buying online, but the ebookstore also contains english books.
I also think that it should be possible to get a STAReBOOK outside of china since the box I received is very clearly not chinese and they even have a manager of international sales...:-)
Just a question of where to get it then...I'll try to find out. The price is 420$
