Sleep vs power off - battery life
Does anyone know what the kobo is actually doing when the device is in sleep mode rather than powered off? I recently upgraded my original kobo to 1.8.1 and disabled the auto power off function so my kobo only slept. It was so easy to pick it up and start reading again - but the down side was a massive reduction in battery life. I have changed it back so it now powers down automatically. I have my covers back so it's a good compromise as I don't want to charge all the time. Just interested in why "sleep" seems to consume more battery.
