I have no cover and no SD card.
Do you think I should ask for an exchange? I don't measure how many hours I read, but I could at least try to monitor my night-time reading.

Since I made this post and the day I posted I fixed my issue with battery drain by exchanging the unit I have not charged my reader. I do have the light on full at all times when I read, I have it sleep after 15 mins and I do use the kobo sleep cover. I also read on average 45 mins a day. I don't have the sync and wifi on, although I have wirelessly synced 3 times since I got this unit.
Currently the battery life is 45% So far That means I am very happy with the battery life. The drain you are getting is what I was getting as well you could visibly see it drop! So exchange if you can. I bought my unit at future shop but got the replacement at chapters. The store change was due to theory that maybe the futureshop batch was defective and certainly when you buy at Future Shop the affiliate is best buy, and the one I got at Chapters says Indigo.
