Battery Problem?

Hello there. This is my first posting.
I just bought a Jetbook Lite from Newegg.ca for 129.00 with free shipping. I love it, but the battery life seems very short. The reader cuts off when the battery bars are only down by one. Yesterday I read all day off and on betweeen 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., turning off the unit each time when I went away. On page 245, the unit shut off. It was only two bars down.

Last week, when it was only down by one battery bar, the unit would not stay on long enough to load a book from Calibre. I disabled auto-shutoff, but only recharging the brand new rechargeable AAA batteries fixed this.

Should I exchange the unit? Will upgrading the firmware to .15 help this?

I look forward to benefitting from you experience!
