So wait, let me get this right, you're saying you would consider it insulting to be thought of as an employee of IRex? I find that astonishing. Personally, I would consider that an insult, but I should have thought you'd be overjoyed...
Come on, take a little ribbing...

Regarding the battery life, I really am interested in how long your Sony 505 will last on a full charge, from 100% to 0%. Have you checked that before? The problem with basing it off of counting bars is that's not going to be very precise. It would be better if they gave you a specific number, that's why I'm interested in the full cycle. It takes out the uncertainty of estimating based on guessing what the bars mean for a partial cycle.

At some point when I'm not going to be using the thing for that long, I'll charge it up fully and do a more rigorous timed test on it. I am constantly travelling, and thus constantly using it, and it seems like it takes forever just to get one bar off the screen. I've had it down to only one bar remaining in the past, but it didn't take a noticeably shorter time to go from two bars to one bar than it did to go from full to three bars.
Regardless, I think it should be obvious to anyone following the IRex corner on MobileRead that IRex on the whole has one of the most miserable records as far as battery and power management goes in the entire e-reader industry. It appears to me to be a constant complaint along their entire product line, and it doesn't seem to be an issue they show any real capability of fixing.
