battery usage max. when reading e-books with MSreader??

[ozgurgt]

ı observed with my ipaq 3800 and pocket loox when ı read ebooks with msreader battery life rapidly goes down
the backlight is at min.

ı tried moving lit files from sdcard to main memory to no avail.

your experiences?

the backlight uses up a lot of power, even when it's set to a minimum.

Just how rapidly does it drain?

Correct, especially because on the reflective 3800 it's a sidelight, not a backlight. If you're reading in a well-lit room or outside, try setting yourself up so you can read without the backlight - that might double your battery life.

Otherwise, an external battery (either as part of a sleeve or a battery extender) might do the trick.
