I'm surprised at this because of all my devices, the battery on the PB seems by far and away the best - it can easily last for about 16 days compared with 12 for the Sony and 7 for the Kindle 2.

However I have the clock set to off, the acceleromator (rotating screen) set to off and I also turn it completely off now when not using as the boot-up is pretty quick. I do leave a micro-sd card in it with my library in so I wonder if I would also improve the battery if I removed it but 16 days is good enough for me.
