I have a PW2, 6th gen.

When I updated to 5.9.4, my battery life went from 20 hours to about 8. I was running the clock while reading, so I'm not sure if it was the new update, or the new way of having the clock on the screen.

I have updated to 5.9.5 and now, turned off the clock option, and now my battery life is about 4 hours. I want to cry. Any advice? Is it the update?

I don't know if this makes any difference or not, but I am currently reading a book and when I tap the three dots in the upper right, the "sync to furthest page read" words are greyed out. I've never had a book where this is greyed out. Could it be a glitch in this particular book which is running out the battery? (it is actually a doc, not a proper kindle book)

On a different forum, someone suggested resetting - I would like to try that, only I hate the thought of getting everything back how I want it - do you have any suggestions? I'm thinking of maybe screen shotting all of my different folders/screens?

Any help on these two questions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Edited to add - I have done a restart, and a restart where I let it go "white" several times while holding the button. I have not yet reset. I have checked - nothing is indexing. Also, I installed this update, manually.
Thanks.
