My total includes my switch to Audible Lite as well as one credit (I was a bit late to switch). I've only made 2 actual purchases, one of which I finished.

I got a new Kindle Voyage yesterday. I'm not sure I'm happy with it and may regret having turned in my older Kindles. The power consumption is my biggest issue - the Kindle Keyboard doesn't need recharging for a couple of weeks (typically 3 books), but I've only read for just over 3 hours and I'm at half power with this Voyage. I'm glad I kept one Kindle keyboard for my take-a-long.
Did you just load a lot of books on it? (Well, you say you just received it... I would immediately fill it up...)

The Kindle eats a lot of power when it is busy indexing lots of new books.
