Odd that you should post about you battery eating forma now, as I had the same problem last week.
I got a new book I was exited to read that night. So I decided to take time before work to load it into calibre, do all the calibre stuff and put it in my forma so I could read as soon as I got home.
I don't remember how much battery my Forma had. I remember glancing at the battery icon, and thinking 'this might need a charge in my the next day or so' but felt fairly sure having it plugged into my pc while I loaded the new book would act as a top up and I'd be fine for a decent amount of reading time that night. So I loaded my new book, closed the official sleep cover and put my Forma back on my bedside table where he lives. I went to work.
When I got home, I obviously want to start my new book. Sadly my Forma displayed a 'Please charge your e reader' message and showed a zero charge. I was most unimpressed, and I don't really understand what happened.
My Forma is in the official cover. It has the setting to go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity, and WiFi is off. Where did all the battery go?
I spent an anxious half an hour waiting for the charger to get my Forma past 30 % battery before I could start reading. Then I left him on charge overnight.
I've been anxiously watching the battery level this week, but it seems normal. I too have been wondering if its a cover thing and wondering if a naked forma and sleeve might be better (but I did drop my h2o last year from hip hight on concrete last year and I'm convinced the gecko cover saved him).
Has anyone else had this happen?
