Recent battery drain on K2

Gentlefolk;

Have used a K2 for about six months now, no issues. About 80 documents in the Kindle, a mimimal amount of memory being taken. The wireless is always off unless unless I am connecting to the service. No recent additions to prompt an indexing battery drain.

The last couple of weeks, I have noticed that with routine use (1 hr per day perhaps?) the battery is draining significantly faster than usual, or so the indicator says.

With the K2 fully-charged about four days ago, my power indicator is just above the half-way point.

The unit is not malfunctioning anyway, I have had no data loss that I am aware of. And, as noted, I have not added anything to the K2 during this period that I have been monitoring the power drops.

I have completely powered down the K2 and turned it back on, with no change. I have not reset the Kindle, mainly because I can't find the reset hole..or does this use some combination of PREV-NEXT-PowerSwitch-5WAY DEPRESS-Menu button combination that all must be pressed at the same time?

Thoughts?

Thx!

Don
