Hi!

I'm looking to buy a prs 600 and was wondering how the touch screen affects the life of the battery. Maybe some 700 owners can help with this.

Does the fact that the reader has to always wait for input continuously drain the battery? Is the battery life still measured in pageturns or does it die by itself if just left open, consuming battery on that touch screen? If so, can the touchscreen be turned off?
