It could be all those things, GeoffR, but it wasn't happening before this FW update. I always have one fully-charged reader ready to go after I finish a book, which allows me to charge the other one back up, but when I opened the supposedly "fully charged" one (after 2 days), it was down to 63%, which has never happened before. I am trying a couple of things (not letting it go to sleep with the sleep cover, changing the amount of time before it goes to sleep automatically, etc.), but since I have to try things one at a time, it is a slow process. Something is definitely up, though. (And all of my books are on an SD card in both readers, which could very well be the culprit.)

I get very good battery life overall, 40-50 hours reading time per charge, but if I judged it based on how quitkcly it dropped from 100% to 90% then it would look terrible.
Do either of the Aura HDs have an external microSD card? When I first got my Glo the battery drained after about 8-10 hours reading, but after replacing the card with another one it was fixed.
Do either of the Aura Hds have covers that could touch the screen when they are closed? That has been a cause of batery drain during sleep mode in the past, but I don't know if it still affects current firmware.
