I reserve the right to be annoyed about a battery that doesn’t even give me a full day of reading. On the top of the line device. And it is not indexing or anything like that. Light is always off, small font (fewer pages turns) and WiFi always off. Basically I’m using it 'hobbled' and it still doesn’t last from one day to the next. Apart from 'that' I do like it very much. But having had kindles 2, 3, basic (with the page turn buttons), then paperwhite and Voyage, all of which had the battery life as claimed in the amazon specs, I do feel this is disappointing. And I’m sick of people saying that this is not a legitimate feeling to have re the battery life.

I can’t even take it away overnight without a battery pack (which I do have, yes), but it annoys me that amazon think this is acceptable.

If the (perfectly good in my experience) cover was recalled for being substandard, why hasn’t the oasis 2 been recalled? It’s not up to doing its one job. And don't even think about using Audible on it, unless you want to watch your battery count down in real time.
