I do not use the web browser. I have 2 blogs that update multiple times daily. This is far short of the 3 weeks with wireless claim by amazon. I have it connecting to wifi with router at work and home. Am I getting less than a week of battery time because I'm using 3G and wifi? Would I get better battery life if I only used 3G? Has anyone compared battery time on 3G model with 3G only vs. 3G and wifi?

I read a few threads where people disabled wifi. I'm not sure how that is done. Would I just have Kindle forget my 2 routers?

Thanks!
yes!. you should keep it of when not using it
