I did the restart/12hour charge. So far I have read 115 minutes and have 74% charge left. This is with WiFi turned on. At this rate I will get about 7.4 hours.
The only other test I would like to try is to set the brightness to the level Amazon quotes and see what I get.
Bottom line: my new Oasis battery life is not impressive. While I never formally tested any of my previous Kindles, I would bet the farm that they were much better. I always take my Kindle with me when I travel. I have never carried a charger. That will change.
Based on my reports, do you think I have a lemon? Should I return it or is this kind of battery life typical?
Cheers, Joe
