My observation also.
The same with the DX and DXG (large screen K2).
Also noticed - -
All of my past purchases of used/broken Kindles are in a stack, all feeding on wall chargers (I also bought couple of 'lots' of wall chargers) -
So I can see the indicator lights on the end of all the devices nursing on the power strips.
The K2's seem to go through a much longer, more complete, battery calibration.
You can see them switching (by led color) for "full" to "charging" at increasingly slower intervals (a longer time between changes).
After over 5 days on the charger, all but one of them has stopped cycling - and from the time taken for that one to cycle, it should also be finished in another day or two.
Some of the deeply discharge K4's did the same, but they all gave up on the calibration cycles after one or two day's time.
The K5's - ah, those things (both models) - they cycle a few times and give up in less than a day.
The DX and DXG ? ? ?
Who knows - they always claim "I am still full".
Built like a rock, those things are.
