Kindle losing charge
This is something I've noticed happen a handful of times.
My kindle will lose charge when I'm not using it.
I'll use the most recent example:
I turned on my kindle last night after about a month or two of not using it. I'm the only one who uses it, nobody touched it from the area on my nightstand where it was buried under random things. I only live with my dad and he barely even knows what a kindle is (I'm trying to stress the fact that nobody else had touched it since I last used it) I knew for a fact that it was about at half charge the last time I had used it. When I turned it on it had a (!) over the charge icon, meaning it was nearly dead.
I actually was expecting it to be like this from past experiences of this happening. My kindle is always on airplane mode. The only time I connect it to the internet it when I'm downloading recently purchased books and then I turn it off immediately afterwards. I *know* the airplane mode was off during my last use. I check about three times every time I turn airplane mode on just to be sure.
Do anybody know why this is happening and if there's a way to stop it?

My kindle fire does the same thing. It sometimes turns the wi-fi on. I don't turn my kindle off, I always just put it to sleep but it's always almost dead by the time I turn it on.
Do you turn it all the way off or just put it to sleep?
Well either way, I've known some people who contacted them and gotten a new kindle for it because of this problem. Maybe they could better answer your question too.
I think battery life on the kindle is 7-8 hours.
I wish I could better answer your question but it's the best of my knowledge.

There's no way to stop it. Even when you're not actively using your Kindle, it's still using a small amount of battery power to power its screen and maintain its memory and settings.
The fact that you're getting a month out of it unused is actually pretty fantastic! My Kobo only lasts about 2 weeks when I don't use it.
