Very interesting...I don't know why connecting your reader via wall charger would cause it to behave differently. Interesting that just connecting to your computer/tablet via USB seems to solve the problem.

For me, I always charge via a wall charger. The only time I have my reader hooked up to the computer is when I'm adding books to it. I have not ever had the battery drain problem--with the original firmware or my current version 4.2.8432 (knock on wood!). My reader is always in airplane mode--so maybe this is the difference. I connected once via wi-fi to register the reader and since then it has constantly been in airplane mode.
