I'll briefly review the assertions of battery university above; the KINDLE battery has a time limited life of 3 to 5 years from manufacture, it has a cycle life of 300 - 500 cycles (from full charge to fully discharged), it does not have a memory, the gauge needs an occasional full discharge to calibrate.

How the KINDLE uses the battery is up to its engineers.
