Hi everyone,

I recently updated my old Touch N905B to 3.18.0 and applied the Metazoa firmware patches for the first time ever (added "Custom reading footer style" and "ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom" to the ones that were already enabled). Everything was going fine until I dozed off reading (a sideloaded epub bought from Google Play transferred using Calibre) one night and woke up with the Kobo showing the empty battery screen. The device was fully charged when I started. So maybe a process went nuts and prevented the device from sleeping? Has anyone seen this before with this firmware? I hadn't done anything with the device other than flip between a few ePubs before settling on the one that eventually put me to sleep.

I gotta say that I love that Kobo's updates still work on my 4+ year-old device... not many companies keep supporting their hardware for that long!
