And just typing that, and checking the light levels, the battery dropped to 14%.
It seems strange to have such severe battery leaks on a new device (under 3 months old), and stranger that the screen remained on, which can only increase the problem.

EDIT: I remembered I already had a similar problem, at the beginning or November and posted about it: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=291913

I wonder whether I have a dud. My guarantee is until 1/09/2018, but it is annoying being abandoned in transit. I can read some on my phone, but it is uncomfortable and bad for my eyes in the long run - and I don't want to kill the phone's battery as well.
The battery issues were do to some issues in some firmware versions. The current version does not have the battery issues. So if you are not at the current firmware, update and the battery troubles should go away.
