Reduce the backlight to the second lowest setting. Check that the CPU power management is set to Auto.

When reading eBooks (low CPU load) I get 4:15 hours to 4:30 hours on the third backlight brightness notch (50%). At the lowest brightness - which is still plenty bright for eBooks - I get 5:30. For PDA use I prefer the second brightness notch, though.

Edit: times are for 1100mAh standard battery discharged down to the first battery warning i.e. around 19%.
