So I bought another handbag with just a zip, no magnetic lock, and have been using it since February 5th, and the One or the Glo HD's battery haven't drained off even once.
This is no scientific demonstration, but if it is the cause it is annoying since it's practically impossible to avoid magnets, what with phones, credit cards, transport passes and all.
By automatic sleep being off, do you mean the timer based sleep, or the cover based sleep? The timer based sleep being off means you have to put it to sleep in some other way. But, if the cover based sleep is on, then the magnet in the bag might have interfered, and it might have meant the device kept waking and sleeping as it moved a bit in the bag. I would expect that to be fairly battery expensive. If this is the case, the difference is probably something in how you packed the bag. Even putting the Aura ONE in the other way round could affect this.
