I picked up a Simple Touch two weeks ago, and I've been very happy with it -- it's a lot faster than my Kobo, and the whole touch screen thing is just a joy.

However....

Twice in these two weeks, it's gone from a 90%+ charge to NOTHING, overnight. Wireless is off, it was in sleep mode on both occasions.

Is this a known issue? Do I need to return it and get a new one?

Do I need to turn it off, rather than sleep it? This is certainly the case with my Kobo, and one of the things that irks me about it/

Could the temperature make a difference? The Touch was in my backpack last night, hanging on a door that opened out into a very cold night.

Any ideas?
