Battery woes...

I sent back my first Kindle 3 because it wouldn't hold a charge past a day or two. My replacement Kindle is better, but so far the best charge length I've gotten is about 7 days. I attained this by reading less than two hours a day and making sure I only used the WiFi for a few seconds every morning to download the newspaper. The rest of the day I leave the WiFi off. I've managed to drain the battery twice and recharge the unit for about 10 hours each time. This yields the results I've described so far. Calling Amazon didn't do much good. A polite woman basically told me I wasn't using the device right. She suggested I continue to recharge the unit everyday until the problem went away. I'm just curious if this is a common situation. Can anyone share any thoughts?
