Frog,
I had the exact same issue. Reading only about 50 pages or less would drop the battery by a bar, and would hit the low battery warning after around 200 pages off a full charge. I was reading only off the internal memory, and mostly books from Connect. I tried a bunch of things with the battery, doing a full power cycle, and the reset after the firmware update, but nothing changed it. I finally got fed up and took it in to Borders for an exchange. The new unit works MUCH better. I've page flipped for quite a while now and still have full bars.
Incidentally, one of the people I work with has noticed the same problem as well. We bought ours from the same store at about the same time, so I'm assuming there was just a bad batch of batteries. His is on the way back to Sony for diagnosis. I'll try to post any news he gets when I hear about it.
