Before the 2.1 update, I was recharging my Opus every 6 weeks. (I usually wait until I see the battery meter drop to less than 30%). With the 2.1 update using the sleep mode and never going to Advanced to turn it off, I have to recharge on the 6th day. I didn't realize there would be such a huge difference with the sleep mode. But then again, back when I using the Kindle 1, I do remember having to recharge every week.

I guess this isn't such a big deal if the battery meter on the Opus was accurate - this morning, it had showed me 50% when I let it go to sleep mode, and the next time I tried to read on it (tonight), nothing happened because the battery was drained.
