In airplane mode and with the light at minimum I am losing about 1% to 2% charge per day on my Oasis 2 32 GTB with wi-fi and 4G communications. That is with the unit in sleep mode. Comparable with my other Kindle e-readers. Bright screen illumination and communications enabled while reading eat up the power pretty quick but I typically read in airplane mode and with minimal screen illumination. Battery usage seems to vary a lot depending onn reader settings.
