I just started using the Touch yesterday.

Today, after reading only a few hours, the battery died - while reading. And in the hours before, the battery icon was showing as being fully charged.

My guess is (between fiddling with the device last night, doing back-page turns, playing with fonts, double tapping, etcetera) that I have probably done somewhere between 1500-1700 "page turns" or "taps." I wasn't counting, lol.

Eeeeek.... (and with a full battery charge still showing, not even an hour ago).

I hope this is just a case of calibration - and that it works itself out soon, as others have suggested might happen.

It is charging now as I write this (I connected to computer about five minutes ago, and I did not have the luck that you had of it being fully charged after 30 seconds).
