Did you install the firmware from halfway october? I had exactly the same problem on my Mini and it was solved once I updated the firmware on monday. It's friday, I have forgotten to even lock the device several times, and it's still full. Last week, it was empty within 3 days.

It says V2.02ASTAK.090907. I updated it to the one on the website When I got it a few weeks ago. O_o

Ah. I'm not surprised you're having battery trouble then. Astak has not yet gotten the new build from Jinke up on their site (which supposedly fixes the battery problem).

With the latest Jinke build, I'm now at 3 1/2 days with the SD card IN, and I'm still at 4 bars. I highly recommend burning this version of the firmware, as it certainly seems to have fixed the battery problem. You can find a copy of it on my web page at:

It's the file called: v5setup_202EN091015jinke.zip

Got it. I am however, currently trying the very latest BeBook firmware, which I am certain must be the re-logo'd version of the same new one from Jinke.

I'll see how it goes, then maybe switch to Astak's when they release it.

I installed the Jinke firmware yesterday. Since receiving the unit on Wednesday, I charged it for 10 hours and started reading Xanth Book 4 ,about 50 pages into it, I now show 1 bar. However, the unit has yet to go through its quad-cycle charging, so i am not worried.

I'll read until I get to one bar, read a bit more, then fully charge it, and do this about 4 times. Hopefully by then, I'll have a charge which lasts 6 months of solid reading and music listening!!

I just put the BeBook mini fw on here. We shall see how that goes.

For trouble firmware, you may notice the LED flashing sometimes when unused. New BeBookmini Firmware testing for 48 Hrs. still Full bar.
