After being on team 'actual book' for the longest time, I decided it was time to no longer carry heavy 800+ pages books around. The KA1 seemed absolutely perfect, and in many ways it is. But, same as most here the battery of my device drops between 5-10% every hour (no wifi, no auto-light, no sync). I understand the battery will not last the advertised 30 days when using the device for a couple of hours every day, but this is pretty ridiculous.
The advertised battery life is 15h (1 month at 30m a day), so a drain of somewhat more than 5% in an hour's reading is actually what you'd expect. That's different to the battery drain issue, in which people are finding that the battery drains flat when the device is not in use. So I don't think you actually do have a problem.
