Be sure to get a copy of the WifI Turn On/Off switch app. Turn off wifi when not needed.
Get a copy of the Bad Ass Battery Monitor app so you can tell which apps are sucking up most of the battery. Usually its the game apps with all the gorgeous graphics (like Wheres My Water) or the streaming videos (netflix/prime)
Reading a book or listening to music takes very little.
Also when listening to music you can tap the power button and put it to sleep mode but the music will still play in the background so you can save power that way.
There is a thread here on Mobileread that talks specifically about how to maximize your Fire's battery
