After 10 minutes or so I had a 5% charge on it.
Has this ever been seen before? Does anyone know what could have caused it?
I was under the impression that after a while Kindles put themself to sleep if nobody was using it.

Buy these two GSam Battery Monitor products:

and,

You can enlarge the battery percent left icon which will show exactly how much juice you have left at any time.
They also have a table which shows exactly how much juice is being used by each app and you can go right to the app managment screen for each app from there.
That will enable you to manage your power use exactly.
Right now my GSam tables show following power uses:
Screen = 40%
WiFi = 17%
Held Awake = 15%
Bluetooth = 0%
All Apps = 28%
Of those Apps the big juice users are:
Media = 7%
System (sdcard) = 5%
Kernel = 4%
All my other apps = 12%, all of which use less than 2% each with the Appstore and Office Suite using near 2% and all the rest using 1% or less.
