The sleep time seems less good on my Kobo than on my Kindle. I can't really test like for like, but I've been reading paper books for a while, and recently decided it was time to read an ebook again, and my Kobo was dead (well, needed a charge), while my Kindle was still over half full. I have seen my Kobo get that flat before, while my Kindle has only ever asked to be charged during active use. I wonder if the book cover display thing is more costly? Or if it just has a smaller battery?
It's entirely possible that the Kobo was more drained than the Kindle to begin with.
It's not a major problem - I mean, that's one of the reasons I have two readers - but it would be nice if there were more options for power-off. I'd like to see 24 hours. If I'm reading a book on the Kobo, I'm not likely to leave it untouched for more than 24 hours, and I'm happy to have it sleep only, but if I'm not, it might be weeks before I use it again and it might be nice for it to power off. I think the longest delay in the settings is 60 minutes, which doesn't seem much use.
