Kat I'm wondering if you turned your device on for an hour or so a day, regardless of whether you read on it nor not, and wait till it's at say 20% battery, and then charge it, and repeat this cycle say twice, whether your battery life improve. (And then maybe continue this ad hoc)
That is, whether using the device would give the battery a boost. Others here will no doubt have a more scientific answer as to the effectiveness of this procedure, but I guess you'll only know for sure if you try it.
I use the kobo cover on my forma, and rarely turn my device off, it's always left in sleep mode, irrespective of how long in between the times I use it to read from. (Which is reasonably frequently I suppose). But in any event leaving the device in sleep mode doesn't seem to have had too negligible an effect after 3 years. (Is it 3 years since the forma was released
)
