The production process used is very capable of turning out a bad or broken device.
So I stand by my answer: tell Amazon before your warranty runs out.
I read things that seem strange in your reasoning -
1) Battery run-time under the conditions you describe:
You say it isn't any different than what you have read about the subject.
Yet you did not come to question that affect on the battery life-time until now, when you own one yourself.
How do you know that the battery life-time will be shortened by the behavior you describe?
The devices have not been produced, in-use by owners, and reported on long enough yet for anybody to reach any conclusions.
2) How do you know the device is working normally when you at length describe a device that is not?
= = = =
If you are concerned about the life-time of the battery under the conditions you describe;
that is: Less than the length of time you want to continue using the device - -
Then you really should consider trading it in on another model, one that does not have the battery glued into the device.
Which is any model other than the one you have and a K4.
Another reason to report the behavior to Amazon, claiming you think it is not correct (or at least not as advertised by Amazon) and want to exchange it.
Do it now, while you still have that option.

I appreciate your desire to help, but yes, we're having some communication issues. Point #2 is especially odd.
I have already explained that there is no difference between what I've observed of the battery in my device and those of others. Could you try to explain how you've concluded that I've described, at length, a malfunctioning device?
Regarding point #1, I am extrapolating based on my experience with charging other devices with similar frequency with a similar sized battery. A perfect analogy? No, the Oasis is unique among ereaders. I have yet to read any rebuttal of the logic underlying the analogy.
I don't anticipate any problems or signs of deterioration within a year, so the folks claiming that they haven't noticed any change in the year they've been using their Oasis is no evidence against what I'm concerned about
: the longevity in years two and beyond. I should have been more clear that my concern is beyond a year's usage. My mistake there. Doesn't change the underlying point.
