WiFi was on, but that shouldn't eat the battery. I always left the WiFi on on my Touch (and all other Kindles I've owned) and they last at least a week or two, usually two, with heavy usage. Basically I'm getting two days of usage before having to recharge. (BTW, I only loaded two books so indexing was not the issue.)
BTW, I believe I can read longer periods with less eyestrain on my iPhone and iPad than on my PW2.

Try restarting the Kindle before recharging it next time. The framework on the PW is buggy like that sometimes and a restart fixes the drain issue. If that doesn't work try a Factory Reset and if that doesn't work it could be defective.
You should get a week with normal use with WiFi on unless there's a bug in the PW2 firmware that we aren't aware of. Might want to start a thread asking about PW2 battery life.
On another note since last firmware update on the PW1 my battery life has significantly increased!
