my battery life certainly isn't as amazing as i was led to believe it would be. after the last full charge and then about a week of reading with the wireless off, i turned on the wireless and it had the low battery exclamation mark icon. i did read a lot during that week (1.5 Song of Ice and Fire books) but it still seems like less than advertised. i haven't tried leaving wireless on, but i doubt it would last 2 weeks like they say it would. i've already had to charge it 4 or 5 times since i got it on sept 12.

should i send it back?
