Bluetooth off: beam receive off: Backlight right down: no alarms: nice monochome low-contrast colour scheme ...
And I don't think it's a dodgy battery, as everyone seems to regard 6 hours as good battery life!
I've ordered an 4xAA battery pack, but ewwwww, not exactly sleek / streamlined / easily portable.
What I need, and no one seems to make, is a PDA which combines monochrome display (I understand it's colour that eats juice) with the ability to store more than a couple of novels* at a time.
And apparently the T3 battery has the same issue as early iPod batteries, e.g. it will degrade over time.
Pah. Modern technology? Gimme late 90s any day.
