If I'm downloading a lot of books, I do so while it's charging so I don't notice a decrease in battery life.
I have gotten 3 weeks out of my Kindle 3. But not if I've been playing a lot of the games, using the light (on the cover) or using the wireless or 3G, or using the music player. Plain reading when I haven't altered my library doesn't seem to cause problems with the battery life for me.
If I play games at night using the light and have just sent a bunch of fic to my Kindle, I generally charge it for an hour about once a week. That keeps it solidly in the middle two-thirds of battery range.
If you can read on it all day for almost 2 weeks without charging, that seems pretty decent.
