I don't really see this as a serious problem right now, since my mind is still conditioned with tablets' and phones' battery life, even after 6 months of using an eReader...
For the Glo, Kobo claim "Over 1 month with Wi Fi turned off". That is at 30 minutes reading per day. Which is 15 hours. So, 20+ hours reading with 30% to go, is great battery life.

I had to check the above as my memory said the claim worked out to 30 hours of battery between charges. That pretty much matches what you are getting.

But, I do think I get worse battery life with recent firmware. But I leave the WiFi on, use the light most of the time and let the device do the automatic daily sync. I think the latter is the major culprit.
