the Kindle 2 was released February 26...Anonymous,<br /> the Kindle 2 was released February 26-27, 2009, so it's been almost 2-1/2 yrs. The battery loses some each month whether you use it or not. After 2.5 years there'll be less staying power. If it was manufactured back then, it will have lost capacity. Usually by the time the 3rd year comes around, it'd be time to put in a new one.<br /><br /> Also, I guess you do have 'wireless' Off when it's sleeping?<br /><br /> That will help. Oddly enough, my Kindle 1 from Aug 2008 is still pretty strong. It lasts about 3 weeks and a bit more if I do nothing with it. I do leave it on 'sleep'... So it depends on the Kindle too.<br /><br /> Good luck on it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-10803441261446085762011-05-10T00:10:01.631-07:002011-05-10T00:10:01.631-07:00I find that if I leave my kindle 2 on sleep for a ...I find that if I leave my kindle 2 on sleep for a couple of weeks, it dies- some battery must be lostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-91653895918776976302011-05-09T17:37:17.079-07:002011-05-09T17:37:17.079-07:00Tom,

Plus there is no shorter word you can type. But now all of the keystrokes I've saved while using this shortcut have been used to explain it here.Tom Semplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127272649086914117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-24062115660279264872011-05-09T00:39:23.076-07:002011-05-09T00:39:23.076-07:00Is there a place that shows what offers an owner o...Is there a place that shows what offers an owner of a $114 special offer kindle would have seen?<br /><br />Thanks, Don LloydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
