Amazon has sent me two replacement white kindle 3, both have very short battery life, I bet they are refurbs, since white is the only color I can get as replacements. Is there an issue with too many books resulting in short battery life (I have 150 pages of books) or are the refurbs just bad? Note it goes down 50% after 5 hours of reading with no radio on. These are the wifi and 3g, keyboard models.
