This afternoon I removed everything from the Kobo except the four books I'm currently reading and fully charged it. After reading a few times and letting it sleep the battery has discharged to 64%, so that didn't work.

My next step is to completely reset the reader and, again, load the same four books, but only after doing an epub to epub conversion on all of them.

Just out of curiosity, I only notice this drain after it's been closed with the sleep cover. I can't imagine that having anything to do with it, but would it make any sense to remove the sleep cover? My wife's reader has the same cover and it's not doing this.
