Question PRS600 Battery Life

I didn't see this subject posted before, but unless I am extremely unlucky I am sure someone must have noted this before.

When I first got my PRS600 it was plugged into the PC USB port quite often. But now that I have a queue of books on the reader waiting to be read it is now only connected when I want to copy a book on or to charge the reader.

Is it just me, or does the battery only last about 6 or 8 days before it needs charging.

I read for about an hour a day.
Do the odd dictionary lookup.
Turn about 20 or so pages before I call it a night.

The battery indicator seems to drop one notch every 2 days or so.

As the reader was supposed to be able to manage 7000 page turns, I expected my humble reading rate would last me a long time. Much longer than a week at any rate.

I suspect that if I just left the ready in standby for a week the charge would probably deplete at the same rate.

I have noted that if I actually power down the reader, then it is OK.
