There is also a residual drain from the CPU/RAM being powered that eats into the page count over time, no matter what you do, which can lower the page count the longer you leave it asleep (Sony's test of 7500 pages doesn't let it sit for very long, so the CPU is not really as big of a factor in battery life as it becomes over the period of a week or two).
I am also having some battery issues, though unfortunately for me it is after the return time frame...
When I use the switch on the top of the reader am I merely putting my reader to sleep? if so, is it reasonable that while asleep for 5 or so days, the battery goes from 3 or 4 bars down to one?
Also, if that is just putting the reader to sleep, how do I turn it completely off. (Dumb question I know)

Also, someone once told me if you left the reader on whatever page you finished on,it theoretically shouldn't drain the battery as it is e-ink and doesn't need to be processing.....but I'm guessing that was a lie?

Thanks very much to everyone for your help
