Having problems as well.
Glo with 300 books almost all side loaded epub, software 2.40. Gone through three charge cycles. Use Calibre to put books on the device.
During the first block reading Irving Hotel NH for 2.2 hours, rest of the time just wake up so now and then to check the numbers. Sleeping not on the home screen but on the reading book screen.
11 mar 12.00 100%
11 mar 24.00 90% 2.2 h reading rest sleep
12 mar 07.00 70
14.00 61
16.00 57
20.00 49
24.00 47
13 mar 07.00 45%
15.00 35
17.00 12
17.30 8%
13 mar 17.40 screen "please charge..."

So 2 days 6 hours

I am not interested in peeking in the database, nor how to manage 1000 shelves, look in the log files or manipulate some pixels on the fonts. I just want to read books and not having to charge it just as often as my el cheapo Chinese 7” tablet.

It seems I wasted USD 180 on this device, will just wait some more to see if this will be solved as Amazon does not ship to the country I live in and it is clumsy and expensive to get it.
If the paperwhite would have been available here in the shops I would not have bothered to complain.
