Well I only get three days out of it with the wifi / 3g off.
That's about two hours with it reading out loud each day but it should / did last much longer than that.
So yup I may get another battery once I've checked the purchase date to see exactly when I got it.

40-50 minute bus journey to/from work every day, tend to read approx an hour most evenings, more at week-ends, and the ability to speed read (a 300 page book takes about 3-4 hours).
It helps that I don't watch a lot of TV.....
HTH....

Re: What are you reading?
Wasting more police time.
Should be compulsory reading for MPs and a copy should be nailed to the head of the guy who wrote the Windsor report as its far more realistic and better researched than his report with its phantom sources.
