The other thing to remember is that battery life is really about page views. Every time you change the page you use up some of the battery. Many pdf's don't fit on a single screen. This leaves you zooming in/out and going left/right up/down just to see one page. Each one of these changes hits the battery.
When I'm searching for something I also turn the page a lot while I skim the text. This also hits battery life.
And finally, don't forget about the book light if you have one.
In summary, battery life gets killed by:
- indexing when you first load a mess of books (is that like a gaggle of geese?)
- wifi on
- Many page turns/refreshes
- Book light if its power comes from the Kindle
My battery life is much shorter than others here. However, I never have problems getting through a day or two. I just charge it every night like I do with my Cell Phone and my Ipad. This is overkill, for a Kindle but its my routine.
