As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I was disappointed in the battery life of my PW2 compared to my other Kindles (and I always leave WiFi on so that my reading position can be synced). Reading for 8-10 hours straight (which I often do on weekends) drained the PW2 battery much more than I expected.

I do think that after the first few days of use (and subsequent recharge), my battery life has improved a bit. Perhaps there is more downloading going on during the initial setup period (downloading Special Offers and such)?
