Amazon have passed my issue onto their advanced technical team. I'm hoping they can find out what the problem is or maybe roll back the update on my kindle (I tried to do this using a previous .bin file but it didn't work - no surprises there).
If they can't find anything wrong with it over the next couple of days they will offer me a replacement. Although I have had multiple problems with my 7" Oasis, I still think amazon are wonderful to deal with wrt customer service (I always use their chat function, by the way, I know some of you have had problems dealing with them over the phone). So I'm really as happy as I could be about this right now, glad they have taken this seriously and are willing to investigate the software issue while making it clear I will definitely get a replacement if they can't find a reason for the issue. So, thank you to the person complaining about people complaining about battery life, you shook me out of my complacency and made me realize my battery life was completely unacceptable - the very opposite of your desired outcome. ![]() And, of course, a sincere thank you to Harry and others who have been helpful and supportive. ![]() |

So glad they are working with you to resolve the problem
![]() If it wasn't for you explaining the software update I wouldn't have known that my oasis 2 is also on the latest 5.9.7 update. I know it must have been done automatically because I didn't update it myself. So I'll be waiting to see if the update was the problem. I know not everyone is seeing it on their device but it seems that just recently my battery is draining more than usual. Not as severe as yours but enough that I noticed it too. Good Luck ! |

I went away this past weekend to an area where there was no wifi signal, and accidentally left the wifi on all weekend, so it was searching but not connecting. I charged the battery before I left on Friday morning, and still had 60% battery left when I got home Sunday night. Are you absolutely certain that nothing is indexing? Shari |

I was replying to pjama, and contrasting my usage with his. He mentioned that his battery was dying with light and wifi off, and small font used to minimize battery use. Just curious...have *you* counted how many times you turn a page in an hour? If so...how boring was the book you were reading while you were doing that? Shari |

Font size 4, light zero to 4. WiFi off, not indexing (checked using the search for string of gibberish). Amazon are investigating now, they’re pulling log files off my kindle and will let me know what they find. I’ll update this thread with the outcome. |

Last month, I churned through ~249 pages/hour according to Kobo's Reading Life. No counting needed, just an email that supplies hours read and pages read (flipped) in the month.

You guys know how many times you change pages? how? I can only tell that it takes me so many hours to read a book with that many pages. That is pretty sturdy as a number at this point. But that is just because by now I know how long it takes me for a book of a certain size. I don't know how many pages that is. My pages wouldn't be someone elses pages of course.
I read on number 3 right now with a loaded font of deja vu bold #1. My light is at #8 always. I have wifi on always. I can read a book a day and if its "normal" sized books its maybe 3 days with the O2. When I add up the actual read times, it seems to match what they advertise for the O2. So yeah, 7 hours reading time with those perimeters are not in the normal range at all. I hope you get some help on that front Pjama. You should get more and I hope you get a replacement if they can't fix it. I got 7 hours reading time with the O1, out of the cover. So not at all what is normal for the O2. |

![]() So my battery gives me about 1500-1700 page turns with no backlight and about 1000-1200 with backlight on level 9. I read about 2 pages a minute and so it gives me about 13 hrs of reading(or about 8 with backlight). I'm just not sure whether it is normal and thus try not to miss any statistics from other users. I didn't mean to be rude or aggressive while asking you. Oh yes, this is all with WiFi off, of course. With WiFi on everything runs about three times faster, IIRC. |

Look at location, turn the page and look at location again, and here is the page turn cost in locations. Now check location at the beginning and at the end of reading –– and voila
