I have an official answer from PocketPro:

The 5" Pocket PRO has a program running in the background whenever it is on, so even if its left in Keyboard Locked mode, then it is still consuming power. That is why the battery is being drained so quickly. So please turn your reader off when not in use. Please test it this way, and if you find that even with shutting down the unit, the battery seems to drain very quickly, please let me know.

If the firmware update doesn't fix this, I'm going to be a very unhappy customer. Waiting for the device to start up and then renavigating to the correct book on the device is NOT something I want to have to do every time I have a few moments to read. The Sony 505 lasts for weeks in stand-by mode. I don't see why this one shouldn't be able to do the same. The two things that attract me to e-ink readers are that the screen is so very good and the battery lasts for a really long time. I wish that was true for the PocketPro.
