There is thread someone on here that explains it better but Syncing is one reason that was explained to me and searching the index is another drain on the battery as well if you have a large library. If you don't do alot of this then I guess it wouldn't matter much. The K3 is the worst because of how it syncs, the K4 is a little better. The PW which I've had for one day so I can't say how much it's effected by a large library seeing I have only 3 books on it so far but on my other Kindles I noticed a different after I got to oh about 120 books.
