I'm still using the batteries that came with the unit. The battery icon at the top shows an outline of a battery divided into sections....how will that look when the batteries are partly used up?
I'm so glad I got the JBL. I can finally read the 200 ebooks in my collection.

When full the outline shows 4 black segments, as the battery energy is used used up 3 black and one white (for 3/4 I suppose) then 2 black and 2 white and so forth.

Jetbook-Lite is supplied by 4 AA Alkaline batteries, with a total
voltage of 6V. At this case unit must work for a week or at least 25
hours of non-stop work.
It must be recharged when voltage gets less than 5V. You will see
warning on the screen when it happens.
Jetbook-Lite is totally discharged when average voltage is less than 4V.
Unit will not turn on.

so you can measure with a voltmeter too.
you can use rechargable AA cells, getting one or two sets could save you a lot of money and you could swap back to Alkaline as needed.
As to reading you 200 ebooks, don't forget you can get free applications to install on a PC or laptop which can read most ebook formats, thus if a PDF needs a bigger screen you can plug in your jetbook lite and use the PC screen.
