2. Have the battery life of shopping with your friends. With long battery life you will be able to leave it on for days without recharging. Check if your Kindle can last longer than your friends. Or that it recharges the most fast? The Kindle fully recharges in about two hours, then the time and see for yourself. Create a chart and the time your best time to load.
