Will kobo rectify the problem?
My kobo mini served me well without any issues for years.
It is annoying to find the reader freeze because of low battery when pick it up to read!
Is there any update firmware can fix the problem?
As no one has said anything, what happens if you don't you your DIY sleep cover? Based on the battery usage of my Clara HD with a genuine Kobo cover, there are no issues. Most of the issues I have seen with sleep covers have been when using a cheap cover. After some time, the cover flap stretched and the magnet wasn't always positioned correctly when I closed it. And it could move when the device was in my bag.

The other issue I see is cause by me carrying multiple devices. In my bag I will have my work laptop, an iPad, the Clara HD and the Aura ONE. The last three devices all have sleep covers and the magnets in them can interact with the other devices.
