I read kindle oasis at night with light set at 1, had it for year and battery has always been this bad, I love the device but poor battery makes we not want to use it.
I think it's just the down side of the Oasis 2, I average 4 days between charges reading in the middle light range 12-15. The lower the light setting the longer the battery will last between charges. 4-5 days seems to be average with those who use higher than 10-11 light level. It does vary and some may do better and some may have to charge more , but the average is 4-5 days between charges. I've had mine for a year now too.

I do like everything else about the Oasis though.
