My experience (not scientific) has convinced me that airplane mode does give better battery life as a whole, regardless of long or short sessions. |

Agreed. On my Oasis I've left WiFi off since the day I bought it, but on my Voyage, my experience was that leaving WiFi turned off roughly doubled the battery life.

I am still betting you will get a replacement if this takes a while yet. Amazon is not going to torture you too long with an unsatisfactory device. |

I keep mine in inverted black and white and virtually no battery life is used but I find that I use my Ipad pro more and more to read my kindle books and I hardly touch my oasis

Does the larger size and weight of the iPad Pro cause any issues for you? |

I find very little difference between the pro and the regular ipad. when the oasis is on inverted black/white I have excellent battery life but I cant stand reading like that and end up switching back |

I have the Oasis 2, and I love the device itself, but I hate the battery life. I like reading for long periods, and now I have to charge it everyday. It's like a smartphone.

WiFi on or off? What light level? If I read all day on my Oasis 2 with WiFi off and the light on level 5, the battery charge goes down to somewhere around 80-85%. Ie I can read for about 4 days on a battery charge.

All e-readers have issues, it depends on what is important to you. It drives me crazy to have to plug my reader in to my computer in order to load books on it, and that's the biggest reason I don't use my Kobo as often as I do my Kindle. My kobo also has issues with not registering screen taps on a regular basis. The battery life is amazing on the kobo, though, as is the screen clarity. As I've said before, I don't have the battery issues with my Oasis 2 that others seem to -- I truly feel sorry for those that are having the problem, though. If my battery was draining within a day or two like is happening to some people on this thread, I would be complaining here and calling Amazon as well. Shari |

Folks I read for a good 8 hours yesterday, and I used about 35% of my Oasis 2 battery. That also includes downloading 2 large books and 1 magizine.

I don’t have my kindle registered/logged in and only sideload a couple dozen books at a time and have never had indexing issues.
