Hi All,

New to the forums ;-) ... and about 10 days using my Kindle DXG.

I bought it two Sundays ago and after 5 days of usage, I got the pop up screen asking for battery, that was a Friday. So, I recharged but this time stop using 3G and turn the auto-rotate feature off. Today is Tuesday, about 5 days after second charge and it's below half I think. Is this normal?

I should say 1st week I read a lot and of course, was playing a bit with the 3G and browsing. After 2nd charge, I stop using 3G at all.

I do have the feeling there is something wrong with the battery life but would like to hear opinions 1st.

Thanks in advance,
