I have read this thread and I'm not sure if it answers my question. I have the original non wifi kobo with 1.8.1 and have no problems with the sleep, power off behaviour.

I have just purchased a wifi for my mother and hers does not power off - it permanently sleeps, draining the battery faster than I would have expected. The original has a setting allowing me to set the auto power off to "yes" meaning the kobo will sleep for about 15 minutes then power off. Mum's kobo doesn't have this setting - or if it does, it is in a different place.

Was this auto power off setting something new for 1.8.1 that will eventually get picked up by a wifi firmware upgrade? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks
