For me, I'm hugely pleased that I have charged by PRS-900 only once in the 3 weeks that I've had it. It's topped itself up by being connected to the PC to faff with the content since then. Even 12 hours of use would be limiting.

I really like its size - it's almost exactly the same as the larger paperbacks.

I thought that I'd get use out of the landscape mode but so far, in practice, I've read everything in portrait. If it were wider, I'd need a larger padded envelope to keep it in, which I'm not sure I have
