We attach our ereaders to the usb powercable every week, so after reading about 15 hours. Is there perhaps an option in the firmware to see how long you read? Can I use the reading statistics for this? I am not sure because I was a Kindle fanboy and only this new firmware with the new home menu made me think: I need a kobo now.
I will come back on this question in the near future when I have tested the new device. It will take a few weeks though because I fall asleep after reading more than one hour. I wish I could marathon read, it would be great for my study, but I like to sleep...
Discharging while in sleep mode is interesting. I can easily test this next week, but I need to upload first all my books to the ereader and it's incredible hot overhere at the moment, so I am not much behind the computer uploading new books to the ereader the next few days, but I will test it in my garden in my little swimming pool.

No pressure man, any feedback is welcome, what you said about the battery is right, I usually used dropbox to download books (it was buggy thought but it worked).
