Now please the other more knowledgeable members of the forum correct me if I am wrong. But as artifact explained, the libre/jetbook will draw down power even if you are not reading it just because it is not really off, but in sleep mode. So the correct count would be perhaps 9 hours active reading and the other 11 1/2 days in sleep mode (and I am sure it would have gone several more days on the remaining charge). Now if you read straight, you may get 20 hours or so, I don't know.

It's not a bother at all for me since I don't live in a cave or anywhere that there won't be power available for a 3 hr recharge and even if I did go on safari there are also ipod external power sources that hold enough power to charge the libre three times over. I don't think I have vacation leave that will last that long!
