I agree. When I use my ereader I just want to be able to read. Otherwise I may get distracted from it by other things. And of course when you have wifi on to do things like surf the net you drain your battery all the faster. I've noticed that with the Kindle Fire. Within a couple hours if I watch something on NetFlix the battery is getting very low. Of course with a kindle like the paperwhite you can't really watch video very well either due to the slow refresh rate compared to LCD screens.
