I’m only surprised at how quickly the battery runs down if you use it on and off all day long. I read a novel, Enders Game, over the weekend, is how I found out. It’s cool being able to surf the text Web for free and email personal Word and/or PDF files to the device for later use.
So far I just like to read. Currently that’s The PayPal Wars: Battles With Ebay, The Media, The Mafia, and The Rest of Planet Earth, whose lazy author uses an incredible number of cliches but otherwise produced an entertaining tale of a Web startup’s vicissitudes. I have found this good site filled with Kindle advice, more than I’m ever likely to follow, but it’s nice to know it’s there.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
That’s what I thought about the battery, until I figured out that I don’t need wireless on 24 hours a day. I don’t bother surfing on it, since I have about 600 PCs around here to do that with.
I’m not using the wireless. I figured that out early and shut it off. Might have been my first charge wasn’t long enough. Have to wait and see if the problem continues.
