My PRS 950 has been terrific...and still is!

This past weekend I was at the beach where there was no network connection and I was using touch page turns almost exclusively. I did not turn off the (non-3g) network setting. (I'm thinking I probably should have!)

The battery ran down somewhat faster than normal.

Thus, I wonder if my 950 was perhaps using up battery power as: (i) it was constantly trying to find or connect to a non-3g network; or (ii) with my using the touch page turns more than usual. I'm leaning toward the former rather than the latter.

Any ideas??
