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
Wifi doesn' thave an auto power off feature. Also, make sure the check for new magazines and newspapers is shut off as well as it will wake the kobo at least once a day to check for new issues.
