I agree with egeezer, sounds like a battery drain. MP3's and TTS drain the battery much faster than just reading ebooks.
As has been stated, the first several, repeat several, times you charge the battery, do it for a full 12 hours regardless of when the icon says its charged. And begin to charge when it shows two bars.
If you have been reading 6 weeks on you first charge, WOW. I assume you've charged it since you got it.
Charge, charge and charge again, when it gets to 2 bars, and leave it for 12 hours or more each. The "gas" gauge for the battery needs to get itself calibrated.
PS, you might want to start a log of when you charge and the bars left. I also indicate whether I'd been reading a lot, or using TTS.
