Hello all --

I've had my Aura HD since it was first released, and I've had no issues with it, especially with the battery life, which was extremely generous.

However, lately the battery drains very rapidly when I'm not using it. When I last read on the device (5 days ago) and put it into sleep mode, the battery was at 40%. Today I looked at it and it was at 2%.

Any reason why suddenly there's such an extreme battery drain even when it's off (or rather, sleeping)?

I thought only page turns actually drained the battery (or the light, or WiFi connection), but not when it was sleeping.
