If you compare against the Kindle DX (similar screen size, same processor) the DR1000S has a 30% smaller battery but a ~10x shorter battery life. There are 5" EInk devices with a larger battery than the DR1000S. There is something about batteries and power management that iRex can't get right. Under the 3rd times the charm theory, perhaps the DR800 will do better.
