I ended up using some rechargeables that I'd gotten for my wife to use in her camera. Kodak brand from WalMart, nothing special and about 2 years old. Lasted about a week, one bar down, then about 3 more days and it went to 1/2 (2 bars).

Remembering the problems that some folks had if the batteries died while in the reader, when it hit 2 bars, I swapped them out for another set of rechargeables that I picked up at Target, 4 for $10 (Radio Shack wanted $20 for 4). Can't remember the brand, Everready or something like that. Labeled as "green"

We'll see how they do this week. I usually read about 2 hours a day, not all at once, 10 mins here, 20 mins there, whenever I get a chance to sit down for a bit, I grab my JBL.
