I also did a number of "Demo" showings to co-workers so my page count is low.

I was fully re-charged in less than 6 hours using the wall charger.
Second full charge was 6 days ago. I have only been reading a .mobi (created with Calibre - epub format wasn't successful in my file conversion). I did have the PP turned off for the first 3-4 days since the last charge but have left it turned on since.

I might try turning it off over night, but I keep getting the feeling that the amount of power drain shutting down/starting up and loading a book would be more than the slight power trickle leaving it on. I'm actually (more because I can) unplug the battery for 5 or so minutes, reseat it and see how it goes from there. Battery removal has resolved many a computer problems for me.
