- Configured Auto-Power-Off doesn't work (reader stays in sleep mode)
- much more battery discharge during sleep mode (about 20-25% power loss per day in sleep mode)

--> flashed back to 4.3.9084 and everything is ok again...

I've experienced the same bug. Really annoying: auto power off was set to power off in 60 minutes. I went to sleep after reading, battery was at 70%. When starting to read this morning I noticed a battery drain: during the night it drained to 40%. I discovered that the light keeps on in sleep mode, and the device was in sleep mode and had not powered off. I turned the light to 0%, put the device in sleep mode and put the kobo on a wall-charger. After connecting it to the wall charger the light went on again, even though the kobo was in sleep mode.

This morning I reset the device to factory settings. Sleep mode seems to power the light off now. But I really don't like this.
Now I don't trust the device anymore and have to check everytime if the light is really turned off. Really completely unacceptable for such an expensive toy.

Device: brand new Kobo H2O edition 2
firmware: 4.4.9344
