And that blocked the IR beams and kept the Glo awake.
The battery level was at 84% after this. I don't know what it started at, but I had it connected earlier in the evening, so it was close to full. The non-sleep was probably about nine hours. And the light was at the minimum.
That isn't a very scientific test. I am going to repeat this tonight but with the options turned to "Never" and nothing touching the screen.

Interesting! And battery drain almost coincides with regular bad battery sleep. Typically from 100% to anywhere between 80 and 90%, within 24 hours. So maybe your screen touching paper caused some more drain than 'normal' for bad battery behaviour.
Will be interested in your more scientific test results!
As for my hopeful test with completely 'new' internal µSD: rather disappointing first 24h. 100% around 9am on day one, 87% around 9am on day 2. Constant sleep, no usage. So. The problem doesn't seem to be in the factory firmware...
Which leaves personal settings and hardware, as books have been eliminated (unless books on device that aren't being read also count).
