I received my Kindle 2 Wed night. I charged it via the electrical outlet. It took about 2 hours for the light to turn green but I did leave it plugged in overnight. I began using it the next morning.

This morning I got the low battery warning when I woke it up. I never turned off the wireless during the few days I used it. I did do some web browsing one day that lasted only about a half hour.

According to what I've read, I should get up to 7 days with wireless on and up to 14 with wireless off. I am disappointed that I only got 4 days of moderate use before the battery needed recharging. Is this typical? Should I be concerned and consider returning it to Amazon before it's too late.
