Hi, cutcutcut, and welcome!
This is a fairly elderly thread now, but, working on the basis that there have been few comments, either the work-arounds are successful, or there has been a firmware upgrade.
If I recall correctly, it seemed that certain covers, especially those with a pocket or flap facing the screen when closed, would interrupt the beams and prevent Glo and Touch models hibernating. The work-arounds were:
a) Wait until the reader had automatically hibernated before closing the cover;
b) Use the switch to put the reader into hibernation before closing the cover;
c) Remove the flap from the inside of the cover.
Certainly I have had no trouble with short battery life since my last post (I get a good week from a charge with three or four hours' reading a day), but I have had a firmware upgrade and now tend to put my Touch into hibernation with the switch - it become a habit fairly quickly, and isn't any hassle.
Hope that helps a bit.
