Thus, in 3 years at the most we will be buying the Kindle Fire of that year. Also, leaving WiFi on all the time uses almost zero energy if we are not receiving or sending data.
That link also recommends a full TWELVE HOUR charge when first receiving one's LIB (Fire). Maybe those, who are getting low battery times until depeletion, should try an overnight charge to perk up their meters.
