Ok, I have to wonder about this. Is there something wrong with your battery that you need to recharge it daily? I get it that you want to download something. Unless I leave wireless on, none of my 3 kindles or nook need to be recharged more than every 3 weeks or so and that's if I've been reading A LOT. I have the eink ones, not the color. The exception is if I am playing an audiobook on my Kindle keyboard. That seems to take a lot more juice and it's not something I do often since my Ipod does a better job.
