Dear Laura, I'm not sure whether it's battery related or not, but I have a few tips that may help. Do you have virtual memory enabled? <control panel> <memory> <virtual> The larger the memory card, the more virtual memory you can have and the better programs run. I'm sure there's a limit to the size of the virtual memory but I've not found it. Use the application manager to check whether there are any updates to be had <application manager> <check for updates>. Mine refeshes automatically, you can also use the application manager menu to do that <tools> <refresh application list>. To help some of the more knowledgeable people on the list, post the firmware version you're using <control panel> <about product>. Also the FBreader software version, from FBreader menu <library> <about fbreader>. I assume you are not running anything else at the same time; such as home screen applets or other programs; but please clarify that point.
