Ive had my 1150 for about a year now, and still think its fantastic !
as has been mentioned before, the fit and feel in the hand is really nice.
As far as the battery life goes, I set it up so the Brightness is one or two clicks up from the bottom.
Then adust the contrast depending on were im reading ( in the house, at night or out in the sun ) to bring the text into focus.
With that type or arrangement I usually only have to chage it once a week or so, maybe more if I do extra heavy reading ( on vacation etc ). This gives me approx 18-20 hours of reading type, which is actually a lot when you think about it.
I wish they would come out with a updated version tho, keep the same format / size etc. MAYBE make it a hair lighter but include these features in no particular order:
Replaceable battery ( I know it will be needing to be replaced at some point ! )
Wifi connection
use current, modern high compasity microSD memory card
True USB connection ( make it a seperate drive on your PC )
MAYBE newer battery technology to extend the battery life some
Ohh and make use of a folder system when looking at books in the book listing
Other then that I think its a great little machine and I look forward to a ton more use of it =)
