I don't use a cover, and I've never seen my Glo lose even 1% while asleep overnight (with wifi off).
Being asleep there's NO WAY the reader won't lose charge. The only one that could be in sleep mode for 6 months losing little charge was the Sony PRS T1. All the others, if you're not using them, turn them off. It's the only way you won't lose any charge. 1 or 2% a day is a quite acceptable discharge, specially if you open and close or if you have a smart cover. I can't tell of the Kindle, but all the others listed in my avatar had to be charged at least once a month in sleep mode.
