" With wireless turned off, battery life remains at two
weeks.
"Kindle uses wireless to receive books and other content.
""Battery power management for portable wireless devices is a
complex technical area, and the battery life improvement announced
today is the result of a six month firmware improvement and testing
program," company officials said.
"The improvement applies to the current 6in Kindle, and existing
owners will automatically receive the new firmware via
wireless."
