So I sent one back because their was a particle of ink in the screen. I loved it besides that. So I get another one. Screen flawless. Like someone else once said, I'm not sending it back. But....

My battery life is horrible. Instead of locking, do I need to turn it off every night. I normally just lock it and go to sleep so it's ready the next day. I thought it was said no juice is being used unless the page is turned? Am I missing something here?

I bought my mom a 6" EZ Reader and her's barely gets locked; always on. Just "on" for the past two and half weeks almost. She appears to be reading as much as I have if not more. Now she's lost 1 notch on the battery since then. Sounds awesome to me. Now, I've had my Pocket Pro back for a little over a week and already had to recharge it cause it was on the last notch. I did the 12 hour charge on both of them.

The other thing is my SD card sticks out. Not much, but enough for me to say, "hey that's not flush against the overall unit".

I bought like 10 books and I've already started on one and I'm quiet enjoying myself. So I don't think I'll be sending it back cause the week and some change felt a bit much. May have to get accustomed to off and on.
