Just my 2 cents. Compared to my BeBook One, the battery in the Boox doesn't last nearly as long. I only get 4-5 days putting it to sleep, a bit longer since I've started turning it off.

With my BeBook, I could put it to sleep and let it sit for weeks and it would come back to life fine. I only charged that thing like once a month. The Boox will die over a weekend in sleep mode.

I thought it the screen used basically zero power once the image was refreshed, so what's killing the Boox battery when it's in sleep?

Oh, and I never use wifi for anything.
