Well i am getting mighty annoyed by the lack of battery life due too the sleep of death issues that plagues my device, and many others. I have to disable power saving features within wifi options and leave the device with wifi enabled in order to prevent sleep of death.

I have seen 2 updates, one in November and 1 in December that claimed to address this issue in part, neither have made my device functional in this regard. I like the updates as they added features and tweaked others that were that were having issues like youtube and device performance.

I have not heard any mention of further updates. I understand companies like to keep these things close the the vest while undergoing testing. I just wish i had a better idea as to when a fix might be out. It would be nice to know if there is any progress with this issue.

I hope to hear from the kobo dev team respond to this thread or post an announcement as to the status of this issue. At this time my battery life is about 2 hours. This means unless i leave the device connected i cannot read at starbucks or on the bus without having the device die very quickly. And yes i have a kobo touch but i spent an additional 200 dollars CAD to get this device and would like to be able to use it without needing to pack its cord everywhere i go.
