Yesterday I put two Kindles away both were nearly full, but the one in question was at 86% as I had just played a movie to see what the drain was from full. The movie was played using the ES File explorer.

I put them away knowing I'd be working on them tonight. However, one started straight away, the other had a Graphic on the front showing a battery with one red bar. Taking this to mean "I'm flat!" I plug it in to charge.

After 10 minutes or so I had a 5% charge on it.

Has this ever been seen before? Does anyone know what could have caused it?

I was under the impression that after a while Kindles put themself to sleep if nobody was using it.
