Anyone with a PocketBook device and its Auto Standby feature disabled can tell you that .
It's harder to tell on the Elipsa because it happens to have two (comparatively) gigantic battery cells.
So I should give up hope on an improvement through F/W. What a pity Kobo decided NOT to have the same battery for Sage as for Elipsa, when they must have known the problem. Deciding to "solve" it with a charger cover is ridiculous (*). Many people will be discouraged from buying the Sage now that the reviews start coming (I wonder whether that is why they sent review Libra 2s and not Sages).

(*) We French have an old saying about "putting a plaster on a wooden leg", though I surmise most of the younger generations never heard it.
