Since the last charge (almost 2 weeks ago) I've deliberately used the page turn buttons instead of the touch screen for page turning and have kept touch-screen operations to a minimum.

Usually it lasts about a week give or take a few days between charges but as of tomorrow I'm on 2 weeks which is excellent. I read everyday and most days for a good 2-3 hours, sometimes more. So it appears to me that using the page-turn buttons is giving me a lot more time between charges.

The other thing I notice is that there is plenty of time between the device aying low-battery and it actually running out. It's been saying low-battery for the last 2 days but I've easily done another 5 hours reading since then and still it is working.

So very impressed with the battery life.

I don't have any memory cards inserted and never use the audio so maybe this too makes a big difference.

Not sure where the 7000 page turns comes in as I have read about 600 pages of the Count of Monte Cristo, approx 200 pgs of an Agatha Christie book and maybe 2-300 pages of a library book. So I can account for around 1000 page turns plus maybe another 200 where I often skip backwards as I forgot what I just read and then there is using the dictionary and clicking back to the menu.
