I use an Excel spreadsheet to time each session (start time, end time, time used, accumulated time).

@JSwinden - I was using light setting 15 and WiFi on. Amazon used light setting 10 and WiFi off. I got 13 hours. They got 28 hours. Thus, light and WiFi settings cost me 15 hours.

See this link for another ID, Julius Caesar, who did battery testing on the PW 2012 with WiFi off and had much greater battery life than me using WiFi on at that time:

The WiFi setting causes a huge difference in battery drain. I need it always on since I must sync between many Kindles and apps. If one only owns a single Kindle device and does not need syncing on, then they should leave WiFi off all the time.
