Well, I don't know if I'm spoiled or just expects too much.
But if my Kindle's battery dies in (less than) three years, I'll consider it as extremely poor quality. Actually, my first Kindle lasted 4 months before the battery went "down the drain".
As mentioned, perhaps I'm spoiled (batterywise) by my:
11 year old (first) digital camera, which still (as new) manages 2-300 pictures before charge.
6 year old camcorder, which still (as new) manages 2 hrs recording.
4 year old MP3-playes that holds (as also originally) the charge for 15-20 hours.
I've already returned my first Kindle, as mentioned, after just 4 months as the battery held the charge for two! -2- days, even without any reading nor wi-fi, and just sitting there.
So far I've charged the new (received for free on warranty) twice in 6 weeks and the indicator shows abt 75% charge left.
