I agree the battery life is dismal, but it's not a problem for me. I just plug it in every 3-4 days to top it off. I keep the screen light all the way up when reading during the day, and that really chews up battery life.
Same , I've been using the power off button as well. From what I can tell reading reviews on Amazon, it seems that 4 days is average between charges on Oasis 2. Depending on how high the light settings are. I'm going 4 days with a middle range light setting mostly. I thought it was terrible too until I found it's probably normal for the Oasis 2.
