The battery was 68% or 67% and suddenly (I did nothing special, I checked the battery after reading several minutes) went to 52%. Then it was normal again. Today the battery was on 42% and suddenly went to 31%. It seems to be normal again.

Anybody experienced that?
Yes, there are reports of that happening. The Aura ONE seems to be most prone to it. It isn't one of the things I've ever really worried about as I've never assumed the battery rundown would be perfectly linear. The question for me has always been what the total runtime is. The claims that Kobo make work out to about 15 hours of reading. If you are getting somewhere in that range, then there isn't an issue. But, remember, that is reading. Most of the other activities, such as browsing through your library looking for the next book to read, use a lot more CPU and IO and hence more battery.
