Okay, so it wasn't exactly 5 hours sleeping a day, but almost, on average. Total reading time is 20h 13m. From 100% to 84% went with steps of 0.1% decrease per hour (if you average it all out). Using this rate, and assuming linear battery life (which it isn't), I'd get 1,049.06 hours out of the battery !! That's 43.7 days. Quite a bit more than the poorly 3.3 days or whatever it was when I used to sleep my Glo in its sleeve*.

As for TechniSol's delicious idea, see the last two lines of my data: My Glo's been asleep and in its sleeve for the last -almost- 24 hours. I put the Glo to sleep, then waited a bit (could have even been an hour, I've no idea), and then put it in its sleeve safe for travelling home. No battery drain even though I'm completely certain the sleeve was touching the screen during travelling in my bag. So, IR beams switch off if not interrupted during switch off...?
They look better figures, and I think we are almost at the point of narrowing this down. It is certainly good to know that there isn't a major problem with firmware or hardware, and I can start my cunning plan to get a Glo
