what were your book uploading patterns?

i uploaded some 10 - 20 books at a time per week in the past ~4 weeks, I charged Kindle again in the beginning of last week (at ~15-20% of battery charge, as some manuals recomend it) after two weeks use. I am already at half of my charge for the second charging. I did read some posts that indexing can really drain battery. Wifi only to get books wirelessly - off after that.

How's everybody's else batteries doing?
Also how critical is the first charge in your opinion? I think I might have underchaged Kindle the first time i used it.
