Also, I doubt the low probability of the lid accidentally opening and the relatively trivial ramifications of it (slight battery drain) actually call for such a feature.
Given the general lack of information from Kobo as to what changes are made whether adding a feature or fixing a bug, you actually expect them to inform us about any changes?

I regard it much as the habit my car has of relocking the doors if I don't open one within 30 seconds of unlocking them from the remote. A feature of questionable use.

As for the sleepcover accidentally opening? I tend to the belief that that can happen fairly easily especially with the home-brewed covers. On the sleepcover I was given, it took a very small movement for the sensor decide the cover was being opened and ending sleep mode. I was never sure whether this was caused by movement in my laptop case or when I dug the Glo out of the laptop case before using it but I did notice that my Glo was often awake when I pulled it out of the laptop case and opened the cover.
