Sorry to divert all of you from the excitement related to the new Kindles but I just received my kindle keyboard 12 odd days ago.. (Back when amazon just called it Kindle) . Anyhow. I'd read and heard that it gives you cool battery life! One charge lasts up to a month or so? But I've had to fully charge it twice over these 12 days.. Is this how much everyone really gets? (I'm referring to the disparity between real usage and advertising) or is it just my kindle?

I generally keep the WiFi off. Don't read THAT much. It's generally just lying around when I'm at school. So why such pathetic battery life?

I've only JB'd it and used an SS hack (set to randomize) .Is that what's causing it? (Though I doubt it..)

Thanks
