Mine is the non WiFi model. Are you actively using the WiFi connection on yours? If so, that's perhaps what accounts for the shorter battery life?
Yeah, I was making a generality and Wifi does kill the battery. You are right though, running internal content does last a lot longer. ;-) I love my Archos and Sony Readers. But just learning to use each for a specific purpose (Archos gets my PDFs).
