I use let's say for few hours a day. I wish it auto detects no activity and switches off 3G or has a config to say no 3G between 8 am to 5 pm and 11 Pm and 5 am on weekdays.
Same here, although mi initial battery was broken, It got depleted after 2 days of usage.

I returned it to Best Buy and the new one still has a charge after 7 days. I would say, heavy usage, mine should be giving about 5 to 7 days without 3G. But I can live with it. I bought it for my technical books and PDFs, so for novels and non fiction books, which are mainly text, I used the regular Kindle3
