So recently, I got another 350 and passed my 350 down to my son (he had already scratched the screen drawing with the stylus, so he got the old one). He carries it around in his backpack and reads it at school.

I originally gave it to him while we were traveling and it worked totally fine during the week-long trip.

Since we've been home, whenever he takes to school, the reader loses its charge *extremely* quickly. You all know, these things will hold a charge for weeks. His is running down in a matter of 1-2 days. If he leaves it home, it works fine and holds a charge. He takes it to school, it loses its charge in a day. What could possibly be happening at school? He keeps it in his desk. As far as I know, there are no magnets or anything weird in his desk. He claims to not use it any differently at school (just reading for 30 mins or so).

Any theories?
