I returned from lunch at 1:30pm, and opened the lid, bringing it out of standby mode. The battery read 77%.
Remember, it was idle, unused, closed and in standby mode with bluetooth off and airplane mode on (no wifi) for the last 2 hours. In those 2 hours, without a single page turn or wake-up, it drained 23% of its battery.
At that rate, in 8 hours of being idle, it would have nearly completely drained itself. If I was reading a book with the backlight on at all, it would drain itself in about 75% of that time.
Absolutely worst battery life I've ever had in any handheld product. My phone with all of its sensors, radios, bright backlight and smaller battery, lasts 24-48 hours between charges. This Oasis, is absolutely horrible with battery savings.

That's certainly not normal. My Oasis, about 3 months old, is nowhere near as bad. Did you check, possibly something is stuck indexing?
