Battery drain - fixed with new firmware?
Hello all,
After vigilantly lurking on your excellent forum, I have finally, after months of waffling, decided that the best reader for my needs would be the Bebook Neo / Onyx Boox. I do have one question left, however, and that is battery drain.
I have heard that the battery lasts barely a week with these devices - it just drains if you leave it in standby. I also seem to recall reading that this might be partially a firmware issue. So I am wondering - was this fixed? If it wasn't, I'll probably still get it and just turn it on when I'm not reading, but I would really prefer to be able to just pick it up and read. Also, is there something I can do to prolong battery life? I am a fast and frequent reader, and I hate having to charge my current device (Palm TX) all the time, so I would really like to reduce that as much as possible.
Thank you for your answers. Personal anecdotes are, of course, welcome too.
