Let me start by saying: Absolutely LOVE my paperwhite - it's fantastic. I have read more books in the past month than I have in years - seriously.

I noticed the other day though that after reading a book in a single setting (about 8-9 hours ish) with no wifi on, the Paperwhite had gone from about full battery to maybe 40% ish or less.

Is this normal?

Wifi wasn't on (that I remember) and the only other thing I can think is I deliver thinks via Whispernet a bunch (free books off Amazon, the auto-deliver option)

Does anyone else have this issue? Is this normal? I would just like a reality check before I call Amazon or anything. I have had it since ... oh probably October, but just started to notice this (since my reading has since picked up).

Thank you!
