I had the same experience except had 70% left and the next day nothing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neal Ewers" <ewers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Bookport" <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 9:21 AM Subject: [bookport] battery drain going crazy Ever since I loaded the 21 update, my battery situation has really been screwy, I had been using my first set of batteries for two weeks and it said I had 71% left. The next morning after I loaded the update, I turned on the unit and nothing happened. Eventually I was told I had a low battery. I don't think I had left the unit on all night because it is connected to a powered speaker and I would have heard it. So, I put in the batteries that came with the unit yesterday. Now my battery status varies from 90% to 81% depending on when I check it. I have read nothing from yesterday until this morning. I have the sleep timer on so the unit won't play for long even if I leave it on, which I don't think I did. In addition, in the 10 minutes I have red files in the unit since the battery change, I have only read txt files. Something is definitely going on here. Anyone else have this problem?
