Anybody else finding that leaving it on with the keyboard locked will drain the battery dry in a matter of a couple of days?
I never turned my BeBook off - just locked the keyboard - and it would, quite literally, go for thousands of pages and multiple days of locked-keyboard before ever running out of juice.
So far, the Pocket Pro's battery life just totally *sucks*. I have a maroon one from the first shipment and, despite a rapidly deteriorating paint job, I've been resisting sending it back because I hate to be without it (my mom inherited my BeBook when I got the Pocket Pro and I'm pretty sure that she won't willingly give it up to go back to the Cybook even temporarily now that she's been away from the Cybook's horrid controls for a while - I sure don't want to!). However, in light of my Pocket Pro's lousy battery, I'm wondering whether sending the Pocket Pro back for exchange due to the paint job will get a new - and hopefully better - battery as well.
Is there any chance that the firmware update would have any sort of positive effect on the battery life? I haven't bothered applying it as it doesn't seem to have many features of interest to me - I'm really waiting for eReader support.
