I will replace the battery myself before I will send it back and risk getting a green screen. But as it works when reading without excessive drain it makes me think it's not the battery itself.
Unless you turned it off ("mostly off") by holding the power button until the screen went all white, then it was just asleep, during which it can index books and periodically "phone home" if wireless was left on. That will eventually drain the battery.

Did you leave wireless on when you "turned off" your kindle?
