I tried the suggestion of useing airplane mode. I charged it last sunday, been keeping in airplane mode when not needing to be connected to the internet, kept the light as low as I can tolerate and 5 days later 50% drained as of this morning. I am off today so i spent a little more time reading and I can litterally see the battery bar go down. Now its down to about 20% battery life. Now amazon boast 6 weeks battery life on light level 10 and 30 minutes of reading a day not using wifi. So an hour a day I would think will at least give me 3 weeks reading. I have BARELY used the Oasis. maybe 30 to 45 mins reading after work. It should not drain this much? Compared to a cell phone and some tablets its still better charging but Amazon should have been more realistic on battery life expectations.
