Good to hear from you, mrbowman. As far as we can tell at the moment, we are narrowing down the problem to a bad shutdown of the infra-red sensors if something interrupts them during going to sleep in Glo(e)s and later Touches. Somehow, this triggers some sort of high power-use behaviour in the firmware.

The apparent work-around is: put the reader to sleep using the switch, wait until the book cover/sleep notification comes up, then put the cover on. That way you *should* have no problems.
