But you may find if this is the case, that it will even up after the next charge. You can check whether your Kindle is still busy indexing by typing '.' at the Home screen and hitting Enter (the main five-way button).
Also bear in mind that most batteries do not reach their optimum until three full charges -- after which it's slowly downhill all the way.....

Thanks for reply.
At the beginning, I uploaded about 40 or 50 books, most of them PDF. I did check your advice about Indexing and no, got no errors or something, it just says did not find the searched text or entry, with makes sense. So, would be a good idea to wait and see what happen?
I am not so worry about the warranty, I did not buy the Amazon one but paid with my AMEX
... their purchase protection plan rocks! I've had zero issues so far with AMEX, they even give me my money back if stolen or broken, which is not the case here but wanted to mention. But of course, if there is some kind of battery issue I would like to catch it soon and keep enjoying the reading, besides I do have a scheduled vacation in 3 weeks and would like to bring my Kindle DXG with me.
