Though I previously said there was no unusual drain on my Glo HD I have since noticed this problem on my Glo (4.4.9344) . In my case I rarely use the light.

I did switch it on (minimum level) and then noticed it didn't go off when sleeping (either when I closed the sleep cover or when I used the power button to sleep it manually).

Then after I had turned off the light I realised that the battery was being drained more than I would have expected in a reading session (say 90 minutes).

The problem seems to occur if the light is turned on and then off. In addition the light is not being turned off when in sleep mode.

I haven't checked this out on my Glo HD yet.
