I am curious to see your results of turning it off when not in use. I would imagine that it uses more juice starting up than anything else it does. It seems reasonable to me that it would drain faster if you turned it off and on a few times a day. Then again that is just a guess.

On a side note, how many books do you have on it? Also, do you still have the original 100 free books on there?
About 10 books + the 100 free books.

If I don't see an improvement this charge I will return it I think. I figure powering down/up between use will drain the battery even faster, but who knows...
