Another small update. The ereader has been left on for about 22 hours now, without going into sleep mode. Backlight has been kept at 5%, and there was about 4-5 hours of active reading in that 22 hours. Battery has dropped from 13% to 5% in that 22 hours. I've never owned an ereader before, but that seems pretty normal, and is about what life I would expect to get out of the device.
Not sure if it's any help, but I just wanted to say that I bought a brand new Clara HD on December 24th, charged it fully right after I took it ouf of the box, and have been reading a lot on it since then (from 1 to 3 hours every day, with the light set to ~25%). Right now, the battery is at ~32%, and I have not charged it again since the first time.

I have the original sleep cover, and I obviously don't let the wifi/autosync on.

Cheers.
