iBooks Have Widespread Battery & Power Supply Problems
I was on the discussion boards at Apple yesterday after I had finally decided to try to find out why my power cable plug's color doesn't show the amber color when it's charging (it always only ever shows green). Anyway, there I was, looking around for a discussion about power supplies and iBooks when I found out that there are apparently a HUGE number of people having problems with their power supplies...and more importantly with their batteries.
Mine holds a charge for about an hour on these settings:
processor performance : HIGHEST
computer goes to sleep after 10 MINUTES
display goes to sleep after 7 MINUTES
and the "put HD to sleep whenever possible" box is CHECKED
If you're having this problem you might want to wander over to Apple's Support site and look in the discussions area to find out MORE!

Took about a week to get a new battery from Apple, and I haven't had any problems since.
(Well, except that my 16x burner never gets past 4x.)
