Sorry for only checking in back now. I had turned on email notifications for this thread but these went to my junk folder...
I had already looked for indexing error. Nothing was stuck there, after the factory reset, I only had loaded a handful of books that I have queued for later reading but not my back library. Flight mode helped a little but not a lot, battery would do to low still fairly quickly.
I've ended up pulling the logs through ;dm and what was suspicious was the very high number of network entries. When the new battery took forever to load, the kindle had become pretty warm on the back. However, after disassembling it again, I found that didn't come from the battery but the 3G module, which apparently had been running amok behind the wifi connection. After removing that module, the new battery is running fine. A replacement 3G module is already en route.
Considering how flight mode increased battery life but not massively, I have a feeling that both battery and 3G module were faulty.
If this should go to the developers forum, maybe a mod can move this thread?
