I don't know how normal it is, but since it is new I would exchange it anyway just to be safe.
I got mine as a Christmas gift and I have had to recharge it 4 times. Plus the charging that would happen when sideloading books.
I was expecting better. I used my mother's kindle 3 for 3 weeks just so I would know how it worked before I gave it to her. (she lives on the opposite coast) and in 3 weeks of using it for at least 2 hours a day I did not have to recharge it.
The battery life is better than the 600 but not better than the 350 and I have no SD card in it and wireless off.
Oh well I much prefer Sony to kindle so I can live with the small problems. And I have a wall charger and 3 ebook readers so it is not that big a deal for me.
In your position, I would exchange it, making sure the exchanged one is in a sealed box. Most stores just reshelve returned items.
