Last night I was reading, and it was at 37% left, I read for about 15 minutes and this time while I usually just put it into sleep mode I powered it off rather than sleep. Came back 30 minutes later, turned it on and got the battery low warning, said it was at 7% and after 15 minutes of reading it said I had to re-charge.

I plugged it in, for about 45 minutes and then checked it out and it was at 58% and everything seemed fine with it. I plugged it back in to finish, and the progress bar immeadiatly jumped to almost full, so I checked it out again and it said 85%... I powered it down and turned it back on, checked and it showed 66%... I plug it back in, and it jumps up to 81%.

I'm not sure what's up here, is my battery messed up?

I am having a similar issue it charges up fast but the drain is super fast. Someone suggested it was due to the touch screen being touched while in sleep mode... and suggested that a person should wait a few seconds to allow the device to fully sleep... However I am not convinced that is what is causing the drain. I suspect its faulty programming

hopefully there will be an update to deal with this asap as the person the touch belongs to is getting a bit bitchy about it.

regards

Jack
