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.)
My AuraHD is on FW 3.1.1 and all my ebooks (~7000) are on the external uSD card. My battery has not been experiencing these issues. I only have a few .png files that I allow Nickel to manage. The files on my external SD card are behind a hidden folder, so Kobo's Nickel User Interface won't see them.

Just because I seem to have lucked out, doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist. I could just as easily say that the fact that I don't make much use of the KoboReader.sqlite database means that I am seldom effected by the things that impact it and cause problems with the device slaved to it. I would assume that many of the changes made by a firmware update are related to the database and how it interacts with the device. It would be telling if going to "Settings">"Accounts">"Kobo" and Logging out corrected the problem.

Luck;
Ken
