I'm also going to just leave the wifi on. I'm at 85% now (lost one per cent in the last couple of minutes!), so let's see how long it lasts. (I haven't even tried to load any more books onto it yet as I'm hoping the whole battery issue settles down after a few more weeks of use.)
Leaving WiFi on drastically shortens battery life, as you'll see.
