Yes, I understand that perfectly. But is it normal for such a standby "operation" to completely drain the device in 3 days? At first I thought I might have forgotten to turn off the MP3 player but when I checked, there wasn't any MP3 playing at all. Anyway, now that I have managed to keep the reader alive for more than 10 days without any memory cards inserted, I will proceed to test with the MS inserted.
