Come on, take a little ribbing...
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.

Personally, my most miserable experience concerning lifetime of battery was with my iPhone (1st Generation). Train ride into my headquarters is 4.5 hours. It rarely did make it...
Just browsing the web and occasionally even making a phone call...
