In the end it's normal to charge them regularly and connecting to a charger is only natural...

If it can't sustain even a few hours of reading that'd be a different matter but not clear to me if that is the case for you ("dropped to 65% after 2 days" sounds like there is plenty of charging opportunities)
Yeah but the whole point of this thread is that the battery suddenly started draining really quickly, dead in 4-5 days even with zero use, then I bought a new battery and its behaving the exact same way, Im trying to diagnose a problem here.

Its not acceptable to me to wake up in the morning and find an ereader has dropped 20% overnight and could be completely dead in 4 days sometimes.

Then again Im having to use wifi workarounds or disassembling the device just to get books on it since usb stopped working on any pc I try so maybe Ill just give up and try a different device.
