Would you believe no battery use?

After posting last night, I changed the sleep and light off settings to "Never". Then I left the Glo sitting on the table near me. At that point the battery was showing 100%. An hour or so later I realised I had not turned the light on, so I did. It sat there for a couple of hours with occasional pickups to look at something (I think the sort order of sideloaded books). When I finished at the computer, I read for about 30 minutes, checked the battery lever and put the Glo back on the table. The battery level was 97%. The Glo was left leaning against something, so unless a moth was attracted to the light or the cat decided to sleep on the mouspad, it wasn't going to do anything.

This morning, about 8 hours and 15 minutes later, I checked the battery level. Still 97%. But, I pressed the screen a few times, closing and reopening the book and the battery level dropped to 95% and then 94%.

I'm going to take the 94% level. It feels like the device needs some activity to update the battery level.

As I won't be reading this morning, I am leaving the Glo on with something touching the screen. It should get two or three hours like that, so I can see if it appears to reproduce the results from the other night.
