Actually, that's showing the Kobo Vox's still on - aka, 'idling'. It needs power to keep anything in RAM alive, for example. The only way to stop that is to completely power off the Kobo, which means longer start times and more power used to start up the system (by having the CPU running full-tilt and loading things into RAM) than you'd use keeping RAM alive and having the processor basically doing nothing.
I'd look more into other background processes using the CPU and trying to use the connection. While the previous day had no issues with power usage when idle, I had 70% after forcing a reset, which suggests the Kobo was doing something even while the screen was off. No way for me to figure out what was running after the reset, although I noticed the email app was running post-reset despite my not setting up any accounts for it.
