Um...I think you got some bad CS advice there. That doesn't sound normal to me.
Start with the obvious: wifi on or off?
With wifi off, I can get four or five days of multi-hour daily reading on the Touch before it dips to 25% or so. But if wifi is on, the battery drops like a stone, even worse than leaving 3G on with the K2 ever did. Wifi on means I get maybe two days before I have to recharge.
Assuming wifi is off, have you checked to see if everything has indexed? (For those who don't know how to check this, run a search. If the Kindle is still indexing your books or has run into a problem, there will be a listing for "Not Yet Indexed". Unless you just recently downloaded these, you're best off deleting them and redownloading.)
If it *appears* to have indexed everything, and another 20 second reset doesn't fix the problem either, a file still may be corrupt. Unfortunately the only way to know on that is to basically start over, clearing the Kindle and adding only a few files at a time, with a wait in between to see if your battery usage changes.
One other thought: are you using the Amazon lighted case? It *shouldn't* be an issue, but I'd want to confirm that by not using it for a time before I eliminated it as a potential cause here.
