My K3 was 80% drained yesterday in one day, but it was a worse case scenario. You would have to be trying to drain it to get there. I was driving for over six hours and I like to have my kindle read to me in long trips, so here is what happened:

- text to speech was running for five or six hours
- i accidentally left wifi on.
- The newer software allows TTS with the screen turned off to save page turns and battery life. However, I didn't turn it off so it was turning pages the entire time.
- for the last hour, (seventh hour) I read without TTS, but the light in the cover was on and wifi was still on.

You would really need to go all out (lights, wifi, tts, page turns) to run this thing out of juice and it still would take many hours.
