Using too much power?
Hello.
I do not at all get 7000 pages on one charge, more like 1000, if even that.. And it also takes power just lying around, without any pageflipping... Do i need to change some preferences, or is it malfunctioning? Do you guys actually get 7000 pageflips? Best Regards Erik |

Hi sumpa I have a 505 and no ,they say 7000 but its more like in my case 2500 to 3000 page turns. seems everyone else agrees . The 7000 is more likely if you are fully charged and just keep hitting page turn one after the other continuely you might hit the said amount . But its not really a huge problem. I have a PSP adapter that I use for a charger so I can still read at the same time as charging. So as far as I can see your in the ball park the only time that uses alot of power is if you have the sound turned on.

I got about 4000 page turns out of my first charge, and I only let the reader get down to the last full bar, so it wasn't completely empty.
If you have not already done so, I would advise letting it discharge till it is definitely low then do a long recharge. If this does not help with the number of page turns, try getting the battery replaced under warranty. |
