Could be a dubious side loaded book file to blame although why I don't have a clue.
Afer all the excitement of update, which I like, I am too exhausted to do a reset at this stage. Will just see how it goes over next few days!

yeah, i always power off. it takes more energy to power back on, but ltr's right that power off saves the battery best.

i've been fooling with my kt today, and it looks like my battery drain might be due to the book i was reading. i'm keeping an eye on thigns for a week or so, but reading a different book today the power drain wasn't as pronounced.

fingers crossed!
