I bought a used Kobo Aura H2O on ebay and received it a few days ago. With Wi-Fi off, the battery indicator doesn't seem to go down much at all while reading.

The day before yesterday, I read on it for maybe an hour, and I think the battery indicator was still at 100% when I put it to sleep. Tonight I was surprised to find the battery at 52% when I woke it up for time since then (and it quickly went down to 50%). Wi-Fi was disabled the entire time.

Is this normal? I expected the battery to last weeks with the device on sleep. Should I attempt to return it to the seller? Do I need to turn it off completely in order for it to retain charge?

ETA: I was not using the light at all while reading before putting it to sleep.
