I got my One on Sunday, charged it fully on Sunday night. By yesterday evening, 48 hours later, it was to 50%. That was at about midnight last night.

This morning I was disappointed to see it informing me "battery low" - which turned out to be 10%. It had lost 40% in 7 hours or less.

I'll admit I've been trying to get Sudoku to work so I can't fairly comment, and have an open mind. But there seems to be a pattern among other owners. It's quite a nice device otherwise - I love the display size and the "mood lighting" - I just wish they'd stop removing features that help make it unique (i.e. the games.) It baffles me that they'd remove things like sudoku and chess from a device which is perfect for that kind of activity. Yes, reading as the priority, but sometimes it's nice to do something else and in a way that doesn't require something like a tablet to do it.
