So it has been 10 days and i have recharged my Kindle several times. I had the unthinkable happen last night, while in a bible study my Kindle power ran completely out and I was … ARRRRGGGGHHHH … unable to follow along. So it was Wednesday and I had charged it Monday morning and I had left the wireless on… so… it was probably about the amount of time Amazon has insinuated I would need to recharge the device.

As Amazon put’s it “Long battery life. Leave wireless on and recharge approximately every other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more before recharging. Fully recharges in 2 hours.” It does recharge pronto, but I had hoped to last longer. Yeah that sounds reasonable doesn’t it… longer… but in any event how long are you seeing it last?

I let it charge completely and turned it on this morning at 9am, wireless is on so I’ll update with how long mine lasts this time until it gives me the “Yeah, I’m shutting down again message.”

Update: Read about my experiences with the battery life of my Kindle 2.
