Per Amazon's website, their estimate of 8 weeks is " based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10.". So, if your reading an hour a day that cuts that in half--and if you leave wi-fi on, that'll cause quite a bit more battery drain. Also, when you first load books up on the reader, it'll use more battery--right after the books are uploaded on the PW, the reader goes through the books creating it's index and that will drain the battery some. I recently put about 250 book on my PW at one time (I know this isn't recommended), and my PW did finally index all the books, but it took it about 24 hours to finally complete it's indexing.
