I don’t think I’ve ever seen the charge fall as much as 30% after a full day’s reading (and I’m recovering from major surgery at the moment and hence doing a lot of reading), and it’s full again after 15 mins on charge.

That’s with WiFi off and the light on auto trained to be quite low.
Holy cannoli! Up to 30% in one day! I haven't even come close to that over multiple days with heavy reading.

That is one of the pluses to me of the older ereaders: not having to plug it in as often. It isn't a big deal, but it is something that I prefer.
