Had it for two days and it drained it do low battery... Did a 12 hour overnite charge and it went to three bars after 2 days. I read quite a bit but not that much.
The Jinke March fw annoyed me a bit due to its limits on epub/pdf size and lack of Coolreader support.... So, Now with lbook. like it so far.

Hopefully it was just breaking in the battery you were seeing. lBook is pretty close to the same although they have some nice extra features I wouldn't think battery life to be one of them. At least I didn't notice much difference when I tried it. It seems that each version leapfrogs the last. lBook is better for a while, then Jinke (Astak) and then back again. lBook is definitely leading edge when they are first released.
