I bought a PRS-650 early in December, and am wondering if I've got a problem with the battery. Over the past two weeks I've read a couple of books (for a total of maybe 1,500 page refreshes) but the reader has drained from full to empty 3 times. I would probably have charged my 505 once in a similar period.

I'm wondering if this is just a new battery settling in, or whether it's a more serious problem.

My library is stored on a 2 Gb SD card, which is permanently in the reader; I put the reader into sleep mode, rather than switching it off; I charge the reader with the charger for my HTC HD2 phone, which seems to work perfectly well.
