Could that be that:
- the battery was not completely charged?
- the reader malfunctioned in Stanby, say it was not in Standby but in On mode?
I would try to charge it to 100% and leave it in standby for some time. Probably would switch it on once a day to monitor the battery state.

Do you expect it to run for longer than 2 weeks on a charge? It's not turned off, so it will use power while in standby, but on the other hand it will also wake up and be ready to use within a few seconds.
The way the iLiad and DR1000 work is that you have to shut them down and it takes 40 - 50 seconds to boot up every time you want to use it. Lots of people complained about that. So the DR800 does what most other eInk devices do, and goes into a standby mode instead of being turned off.
