Suddenly my K3 is sucking power, seems to drain even when in sleep mode. It went from never needing charge (the occasional USB hookup to transfer files was enough), to now needing daily charges. I primarily read personal files that I email to the Kindle or transfer through USB. A few hours a day.

I don't have the cover, and I always turn wifi off when not using it. I usually sleep rather than turn off. Nothing is indexing (using nonsense word test). And this started when I left the US for two weeks in India [I'm still there]. I've done a restart, and I don't think that made a difference.

Any advice?
