I recently purchased a Forma. While I haven’t done any formal battery tests, I can vouch that the battery life is acceptable. For reference, I moved from an Kindle Oasis 2. I confirmed my Oasis met Amazon’s spec, yet under normal backlighting and WiFi on it was terrible for battery life. For my Forma, I probably read 5 nights a week, usually an hour, keep WiFi on, and keep a midrange backlight. Under those conditions I charge the Forma once every 2 to 3 weeks and even then I usually have at least 30% left.
Hopefully some of the fixes presented in this forum will work. If not, I would ask for a replacement. Two hours is not right. Something is wrong.
Good Luck, Joe
