Well, I guess it depends what you construe as 'playing around'. I use my PW to read two newspapers (WSJ and FT) daily and The Economist every week. So I do a lot of browsing and jumping to articles. I am certain that leads to more page turns than just reading a book for the same amount of time.
Also, I get all of those delivered via 3g. So that hurts battery life as well.
Finally, I use the light at 12-14 at night and 18-20 during the day.
When you put it all together, it is probably as intense of a battery usage as it gets. But the result is that I get perhaps a dozen hours of reading between recharges. As I find it inconvenient to go home with a battery below 15-20%, as it did shut down on me before as I was trying to read, I pretty much end up recharging every other day. Actually, I think that has been very regular - ever since I got it, I have recharged one day yes, one day no.
Perhaps it is a defective unit. But I have read of others confirming similar experiences with 3g and subscriptions.
