If you are charging it on the computer using USB be sure the computer is ON the whole time... if the computer goes on standby, hibernates, sleeps...etc... it will actually be discharging. A better option is to get a cheap PSP wall charger that fits the AC (barrel) connector on the reader.

If you are truly getting only 150 page turns on a full charge in a reasonable time, then the battery or the reader is defective. But, most issues like this have ended up being the unit is not being truly charged. Do not trust the little battery bars, or the charging light.... such things are dodgy at best....

Unfortunately, if it is defective it is probably too late to return it. My wife and I each have one and we get about 2 weeks between charges..... most folks get amazing battery life with the 300.
