> I've had an "off" kindle drain itself dry in a day from these. I find that hard to believe. I've left my in non-airplane mode and maybe after a week it drops 40%. Since I always leave it in Airplane Mode I'm probably seeing different behavior than OP. Plus it is an older kindle, not a fancy new one. But still: screw active Wi-Fi.

Assuming good faith on their part, it's a little more interesting to ask why their experience is so different from yours. It might be something mundane (different models, battery degradation, ambient temperature throwing off the voltage sensors on a partially degraded battery), or it could point to something like careless programming. E.g., I've had phones with 2day battery life in normal use which would fully discharge in 1-2hrs in the presence of weak network connections because of aggressive scanning and reconnecting (and I'd imagine the storage location for an "off" kindle wouldn't have great connectivity).
