We've had quite a few threads on this topic.

But it might be worth repeating a point that many K3 users still don't know: when you load books on your Kindle, it will spend quite a lot of time (and use quite a lot of battery juice) indexing those books. So it's not unusual with a new Kindle when you enthusiastically dump a shedload of books on it, for it to grind away for hours indexing quietly in the background, and then you suddenly think, 'Hey, where'd my nice full charge go? Maybe I've got a dud battery!'

Moral of the story: leave your Kindle plugged in after loading lotsa books. And it's better to load large numbers of books in more manageable batches. Type a period '.' at the Home screen to see whether indexing is still in progress.
