I'm not buying books very often. I'm not using light. Very odd. I truly think I'm getting worse battery life on my K3 than I did on my K2 with wireless on. I'm going with only 3G when I get a full charge to see if it is better. I will update when I have some info.

Another thing I have noticed with K3 is that it says EDGE instead of 3G which is on my K2. Is my K2 also on EDGE but lists it as 3G? I wonder if EDGE eats up more battery than 3G...
