Hi! Just got a brand new PRS-600 yesterday, fully charged it then purchased (10) books and finally started reading one last night.

This morning it was dead...no charge. However I didn't turn it off last night after I was finished reading...I just left it on, displaying the last page I read. Total time on, after full charge, and 'til this morning when I went to read some more was ~ (10) hours.

The Power Management is set to "On"...which (per instructions) should have turned the reader off after (60) mins of no activity.

Any ideas? Is it normal for complete discharge after (10) hours of just displaying one page?

I understand that the electronics controlling the Touch Functions must be on and using power during this period but I am a bit surprised that they would use enough power to completely drain the unit in this time.

I'm interested in what other PRS-600 owners do...do you turn completely off at end of reading session or let the Power Management turn it off for you?

Thanks in advance...
