There is much to like about the new Kindle especially since I replaced an older one which was minus some of the new features. What is not to like is the poor battery life. I have done all the right things but no change. It goes down about 20% in a day or so with moderate reading and no wifi.
I looked at the product homepage on Amazon and searched user comments and there are many with the same issue.
I am not returning it yet, hoping there might be an update due to the high number of buyers with this problem. Also an early replacement might result in getting another K with the same issue.
There are some reviewers praising the battery but the critics outnumber them. I would appreciate any comments and feedback from others. I have not posted a review on Amazon but will soon. Thanks everyone.
