Currently a fully charged battery hardly lasts us a week when we read a bit more than average -- when the device was new it often had one third or more left after two full weeks.

I was wondering if anyone has similar experience and has been on contact with Amazon?
I've had my Kindle 4 since it was released last fall and I haven't experienced poor battery life as you're suggesting. Perhaps it has to do with an indexing problem as the above post suggests. I read at least an hour a day and haven't had to charge my Kindle in 3 weeks.
