My brand new forma drained itself yesterday, no idea why. But I've been leaving the wifi on.
I think sometimes sync gets stuck and chews the battery. Turning off wifi typically fixes that, but sometimes the sync doesn't stop even then.
Also, in the past I've done searches in large pdfs and then changed books when the search didn't find anything. I suspect that the search actually never stopped, and then drained the battery flat. I haven't been searching in pdfs lately, so I don't know if this has been fixed in recent firmwares.
I think it is possible for other things to get stuck chewing cpu too.
All of these things are (temporarily) fixed by rebooting the device. If you notice your battery draining rapidly or it is still trying to sync minutes after you turn off wifi, make sure wifi is off and then reboot the device. This always stops the battery drain for me.
