I want to expand on the 10% battery drop issue. Zaroff is not the only one with this issue. I had noticed it as soon as I got my KA1 over a month ago and I've been complaining about it quite a bit on this forum.

It usually happens soon after waking the device from sleep and only when the battery indicator is at ~70%, ~50% and or ~35%.

I always check the battery level before I start reading and check it again after a couple of minutes. Everything would seem fine at first and I'd be 100% sure the battery is at say 72%. After a couple of minutes, the battery would magically drop to 60%. This would then happen again either at 35% or 50%. It only happens two times per charge. Once at 70% and again at 35% or 50%.

It doesn't happen exclusively after waking up from sleep nor does it happen every time I wake the device from sleep. It only happens when the battery indicator is near or at 70%, 50% or 35%. For example, just the other day I woke the device from sleep and the battery indicator was at 55%. After about an hour of reading, it was at 50% and then at 40% just a few minutes (possibly even seconds) later.
