Hello,
I have had my Kobo Glo about 3 weeks and I notice a rapid battery drain. I don't use WIFI and I read about 30 - 60 minutes a day. I usually leave it on Sleep but I find that the battery indicator doesn't give precise values. A few days ago it was around 40%, then a rapid drain to 27% the next morning and in the afternoon of the same day I got the message "Charge your reader". I did a complete charge of the battery two days ago, I read for two nights, last night it was on 99%. I powered it off and turned it on this morning, 94%. Is this normal?
At this rate it will not even last for 20 hours per charge. I am very disappointed, I am going on vacation in about a week and was hoping to have a reader that would give me many hours of reading time. The 15-day period to return it to the store is over, unfortunately. Could there be any other reason for the battery drain?
Thanks for any help!
