We've got 2 relatively new Formas here. Same problem. Wifi off and power off after every book read. Yet, the battery life is terrible. Both my wife and I are currently charging our Formas again after only 2 days (battery warning popped up). This is a common occurrence. One of the main reasons I replaced our Kindles was that the batteries weren't holding their charges: we had to recharge them every couple of weeks. Yet, now we regularly have to recharge after 2 days.

I love the bigger screen of the Forma. Ditto for the use of the open EPUB format. But, these constant, niggling issues really add up.
