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.

How long do you spend reading in a day? I can read for 4-5 hours per day on it for at least a few days before having to charge it. This is with wifi on, light set to 12, and font size set to ~7 (it goes up and down depending on how tired my eyes are)
I went away this past weekend to an area where there was no wifi signal, and accidentally left the wifi on all weekend, so it was searching but not connecting. I charged the battery before I left on Friday morning, and still had 60% battery left when I got home Sunday night.
Are you absolutely certain that nothing is indexing?
