It was presented to show a pattern of offering guesses and opinions as fact, even in response to actual evidence and fact sets as in this thread.

I have notice the Fire does not put some apps in suspension like other Android devices. Amazon has change something. I don't know what. Some apps are okay to leave running like Pulse, Email, Calengoo but some apps that are installed onto the Fire seem to get stuck in memory causing the battery drain issue some users are having. This is where checking what apps are running are important and making sure when you put the Fire to sleep nothing isn't running that shouldn't be.

This will ensure longer battery life on the Fire. I know from my own Testings. I don't use a task killer but manually close apps in Settings.
Idle apps in memory use less battery, in the long run, than constantly closing and reopening them. That's why Android, designed as a battery operated operating system, keeps them in memory in the first place. Same concept as not turning off your car at every stop sign.

If the app refuses to idle and there is no menu option to close it, it should be force closed and then uninstalled.

I get 3 days of battery life with my Kindle Fire using this method. I am quite happy with that.
Anecdotal evidence is not really helpful.

You don't get 3 days of battery life. You get three days of use out of the same physically limited hours of battery life we all share. If you want to spend those hours of battery life turning on and off WiFi and manually closing apps, it's your business I guess. I prefer to spend it reading and browsing the web.
