Yes, I have checked for any indexing situation maybe running amuck, but there are no indexing issues. This is what is so frustrating is that some of us hear from everyone over and over again about indexing, wi-fi, lighted covers, large fonts etc etc. I repeat again, I have a keyboard kindle that I use the same way as my new touch kindle. I was expecting an even better battery life because that is what they claim and was very disappointed to find that the battery as bad as a droid cell phone. The battery life, in my case and some others, has been abysmal for the touch kindle. The battery life in my keyboard kindle is remarkable. I suspect there may be some battery problems or a software problem out there, otherwise we would not be seeing so many comments from so many people on the net in many forums that are having this problem. I hope that at some point they will find and answer to this and eventually we will see no more questions regarding this situation. I plan on keeping my touch kindle for now and wait to see how all this works out later. I do prefer the way the touch kindle works and will tolerate the recharging frequency for now. Still , thank you for your suggestion.
