Thanks, Harry: I didn't know about the page turn measuring system either and assumed no power at all was eaten up when a page remained open. By the way, folks, I had some serious issues with my PRS-505 when I first got it. I was charging by cable connection to my PC and laptop. On advice here, I picked up a mains charger and have never had a single problem since. It seems that battery-meters on readers can sometimes be overly optimistic, showing a full charge when, in fact, the device is actually very low on the power necessary to do its job properly. Have you tried a mains charge? Good luck. Neil
