It doesn't really take that long to boot the reader.
Yes I think VelvetElvis has done that and confirmed that battery does not run down in off-mode. So that would indeed be a workaround until the problem gets fixed. However, I'm still purposely using sleep-mode to see if I can find when the drain does and does not happen. I have yet to find a "does not" situation, but I'm suspecting sleeping from the home screen.

I do not use a sleepcover, nor does VelvetElvis. I have the Glo set to not listen for a sleepcover. VelvetElvis used to have the function on, but switched it off recently when he found the setting.

In any case, no sleepcover and either listening for one switched on or off, both situations give quick battery drainage in sleep mode.
