Cool-er vs EB 1150 battery life

So I have a question for those that have a e-ink reader.

My EB 1150 battery life is around 4 books to for me, I don't have my back light set up very high. So battery life roughly 20ish hours.

My Cool-er seems to last about 4 books for me as well. I have managed to run its battery down to it shutting off while I was in the middle of a book. I am hesitant to plug in my Cool-er to charge it because of its firmware issues so I try and wait til the battery is low to charge it.

Has this been the experience of other people? I thought that e-ink was supposed to have really good battery life? 8,000 page turns? I don't feel like it lasts 8,000 page turns and that is what the Cool-er website says its supposed to last. Maybe I am not getting a full charge when I plug it in? I have been leaving it charging overnight, one would think that would be enough for a full charge.

PS. I would have posted this on the Cool-er section of the forums... but we don't have one yet amd I could not think of a better area...*looks at the mods*
