goldberry--Did your wife load a lot of books on it right away? When books are initially loaded onto the KPW2, the KPW2 performs indexing on the books--which from what I've read can cause the battery to drain more rapidly. So, that might be part of the problem. Once the indexing is done (could take several hours--maybe even a couple of days, if a lot of books were loaded on at once) the battery usage should be better.
I do agree with pidgeon 92--charging overnight with a wall charger is a good idea.
I use my Kindle PW2 on average probably about 2-3 hours a day and charge about once a week. When I charge the meter usually shows about 50% charge remaining.
