I note RJCroy seems to have the same problem. I have been specifically monitoring battery use following an earlier post, and have found that mine (updated 2.1.1 on Monday) seems to be using slightly more power than before, though not to the extent of 25-30% overnight - more like 15%. Like you, I leave mine on Sleep, because it seems to use quite a lot less power than rebooting from Off every day.
I also seem to be experiencing delays in things that I didn't experience with 2.0.1, as if the processor is struggling, though the screen-response isn't one of them. Going from highlight to Annotations and back has slowed down by at least a factor of 2, and changing font settings is horribly slow - over a minute to change font size yesterday.
It is as if improving the page-turn time (which 2.1.1 has definitely done) has come at the price of slowing down/stopping other things.
Out of interest, roughly how big are the sections in the books you are having difficulty with?

Hi Peakcrew,
Don't think my problem is related to chapter-size as it also 'freezes' during sleep when I'm not reading a book (i.e. at the home-page) .. of course the last book is still loaded in memory and in this case its a side-loaded epub with modest chapters (about 15 pages/chapter). This morning I bought another kobo-touch for my sister-in-law and that one doesn't seem to have the sleep-issue, so I returned mine to the shop also and exchanged it for a brand-new one which I immediately upgraded to 2.1.1 .. its now sleeping for the first time .. I'll let you guys know if it comes back alive OK (i.e. with responsive touch-screen) after its first nap .. fingers crossed !
W.r.t. power-usage, I would suspect that when powered-off the battery-use should be next to zero (like in the shop, these things must be there for weeks/months and all three I had over the past week all where at 50% power when booting-them up the first time ..)
Thanks for all good comments and 'responsiveness' so far !
Cheers,
Hans
