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?

I have the similar situation. 2 days - with Wireless On and 2 weeks - with Wireless Off. Not so good as others people describe...
Will try to experiment with recharging, rebooting etc...
There one thing I worrying about. The Kindle interface does not support multitasking. But in fact, the device is running Linux operating system, which is multitasking. For example, if you run the browser, there is no way to close it. When you click 'Home' you will still have your browser running in the background. The only way to close the browser is to rebot your Kindle.
Maybe this is the case for those who are experiencing low battery perfomance... I'll try to check this.
