You can also increase the power off time manually in the "Kobo eReader.conf" file in the .kobo folder of your device by adding (and then restarting your device):

[PowerOptions]
AutoOffMinutes=2880

Where 2880 (48 hours) is the number of minutes you want. I had 48 hours working successfully on my Glo running 4.8.x, but it doesn't seem to work in 4.9.11311 on my Clara HD. I do have it set to even longer (I think 3300 minutes / 55 hours), but instead of switching off after two days of not reading, it switches off after one day of not reading. I'm not sure after how long exactly, but it's somewhere between 24 and 36 hours I think. I haven't paid enough attention.

In any case 24+h is still longer than the 4h15m you get with the patch 😊
