This looks to be right in line with 4 days and 200 pages of my original post which seems crazy low.

Even if wifi halves the battery life as some claim, that would be 8 days of charge which is still just a tiny bit off from the 4-6 weeks advertised.

I'll play the rest of this battery out and then leave wifi off for the next cycle and see how much of a difference it makes.
If you read closely on the battery life advertised you will see it is at 30 min day at brightness level 10. So it is measured in hours, not pages. I read at 18 brightness level. My first test was one hour and it used 5%. So that works out pretty close to advertised. I have no problem with plugging it in several times a week to be sure it has enough juice for a long reading session. It does charge fast.
