[QUOTE=cbone;797377]The big question is: can you add your own software to this device?
Next question is: what can be done about that battery life issue? It shouldn't be draining power when it's off like that.

According to skytone, the battery life is 'acceptable' for such a large device. To be fair the main thing that is killing the battery is the screen, i think some adjustments to the brightness may give for a bit more life. I asked them about placing an even higher capacity battery in, they said it wasn't possible.

I do want to point out that as i had to install the battery, i can confirm that the battery on this thing is huge, both in physically and in capacity.

I should show you a picture of the A700 in its case and held landscape, it has a very appealing look as an ebook reader.
