I get about 9 or 10 days between recharging cycles from where it gets low, but hasn't given an alert yet. I have the lighted cover and rarely use the light. I tend to turn wireless on when I need it but otherwise leave it off.
i've read somewhere on the net that it's better to let the kindle sleep instead of shutting it down all the time.

hmm really? that's good, then...but somehow, with all the stuff i've read, it seems that it's hit and miss. i sure hope i get lucky, especially since i live so far away, it would be difficult to send the kindle or cover back if anything went wrong.
