Pretty consistent- as it should be- if you take rounding errors into account. (mAh/%)
The total at 100% dies over time though I believe.. correct? (this was my point before)

when a device begins to "Age" it's maximum cap at 100% is less than that correct? I think I sort of made that point.. in my own inimitable confusing way.

You're correct. My PW is pretty new. Just giving ya my current stats... I guess I misunderstood what metrics you wanted.

NO!!! you didn't at all.

I just realised that as you provided them I didn't make it clear before that the 100% state is the "indicator" in my mind.

Note to self: say what you mean, out loud, state your assumptions... doh!

How about adding battery health in terms of percentage? Current capacity vs original capacity? (I'm assuming original capacity is 1,400mAh?)

That sounds like a plan.

it would also require a sliding extrapolation of likely "time left" as opposed to just recording "time served". Just to make the report a bit more "interesting" to write : )

I think anyone could probably jump on this as a "1st time" pet KUAL project.

Very similar result... I'm getting 1411mAh for a full charge on the PW (1 month old). That was charge to green light + about 10 minutes using a wall charger. Going to leave it plugged in for most of the day to see if it trickle charges any higher than that.

I went from full charge to drained after indexing 302 books yesterday. I charged it again today, indexing was done, but within an hour the battery icon took its first drop.

Curious how everyone else is doing..
My battery is fine but thank you for asking.

"Interesting" is an understatement, given just how much a Kindle's power draw can vary over time. Still, if the Kindle Fire can do it (which has an almost-as-variable draw), so can the e-ink Kindles...

True...

Perhaps the wording could be a little more upbeat..
