Question: "What is the expected battery life in page turns or hours.
Answer: "Approx. [battery life] 6000 page turns or several days, but the exact battery life depends largely on the usage pattern."

Question: "Does this device [DR800SG] support sleep/suspend like the Kindle and Sony devices.
Answer: "Yes it does. It takes about 3 seconds to restart from sleep mode."
FYI, they said the same thing about the DR1000S (and the iLiad).

I would recommend waiting until real people start reporting what their battery life is, if that is an important feature. iRex doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to battery life predictions.
