After switching off wifi I'm seeing very low battery drain when the device is sleeping - overnight it dropped something like 1% - which is a huge improvement over the battery draw when it is on.

However, I'm seeing something like 10% per hour when the device is in use (still no wifi, brightness 5% or so) - which is much higher than I'd expect. So it looks like the most serious issue is wifi, but perhaps the new firmware will also improve power consumption for other parts of the machine.

Having said that, now I can use it - it is is a splendid piece of kit that I hope Kobo can make perfect.
