- removing all of the books, reboot, test the battery if failing again and adding books in small numbers to see which one causes the problem.
Books removed. One had a Cloud connection. I had to turn on WiFi to delete that one. When I did delete it, the battery life jumped from 23% to 57% (?), which I found really odd (this is not the first time the battery life indicator has jumped up and down). After I fully charge the TL3 I'll test to see if it will hold a charge without any books installed. If it does, I'll start by only adding books locally (and not turning on WiFi) and see if it still holds a charge. If it does hold a charge at that point, then I might be closer to locating the problem, though (if it turns out to be a WiFi issue) that takes away all the benefits of the TL3 over the PB615 (Russian version, which has no WiFi).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know what I find.
