I posted recently about a new 600 draining overnight after "full" charge of (5) hours on USB. However I just posted update to my original problem and after second charge (again on USB), I got ~700 page turns (and ~25 Dictionary checks) before I went to one bar.

As the reader locked up on me this morning, I am charging it for third time since purchase.

Before starting latest recharge I checked the reader (~ 3 hours after lockup) and it was functioning again (no longer locked up) and still showed one bar. So I think it needs a couple more "calibration" cycles before it settles in to "normal" life.

I only use Sleep mode (quick flick of power button) now and haven't done a full shutdown since the first day.
