Effect On Battery Life Due To Ebook Formats And Memory Cards

I have a Sony PRS-505. I've been checking on the forums for information about the reader's battery life and I've found some information but haven't found clear answers to some of my questions.

I learned through the forums that to extend the reader's battery life you should fully shut down the reader if you are not going to be using it for a while. My own experience when using the player is that playing audio files rapidly drains the battery.

But I wasn't able to find clear answers to these questions:
  • What effect (if any) does the format of the ebooks have on the reader's battery life?
  • What effect does using a memory card have on the reader's battery life?
Thanks in advance for any information.

Those two things have a minimal effect on battery life. They are not spinning hard drives but data stored on solid state memory card.

Dont wory two much about battery life, I read for at least an hour a day, never switch my reader "off", just to "sleep" and only have to recharge about once a month.

As long as you don't play MP3s, they will empty your battery within 4 hours, you are good for abouth a month worth of reading..
