Kindle model/fw G3/3.1 DXG/3.1 DXG/2.5.8
Test progran name Shasta NELL-WW NELL-WW
Test version v. 5.22 v.5.22 v. 3.5.8
No WAN, no audio: 28.2 mA 23 mA 23 mA
WAN on, Audio on: 129.2mA 253 mA 163 mA
WAN off, Audio on: 88.2mA 217 mA 131 mA
Sleep, WAN on: 1.43mA Error N.A.

I have noticed that sleep mode of the Kindle DXG with wireless on seems to draw a lot of current. I didnīt measure it since I didnīt want to open the Kindle and the diagnostics mode could measure it only on the Kindle 3. Any ideas.
Does kindle DXG consume less power than kindle 3 when both the wireless and the audio is off? It seems weird.
