So I decided to try out KOreader again, used nicklemenu, and the nightly build from 11 Nov (looks like it was pushed on 12 Nov).

I'm sorry if this is fixed now, as there is a new nightly build, or if it's a known issue still being tweaked. But boy howdy is koreader a battery drainer on the Kobo Sage. We're talking 10%+ in under 30mins of reading.

I generally like koreader (in the short time I used it, aside from an issue opening large ebooks, it's nice and I can squeeze the margins just ever so slightly smaller than I can on the built in reader. But that power drain is beyond what I can accept.

I haven't tweaked anything, so if there's something I might have missed or not done that would decrease the drain let me know.

Wifi was off, light was around 5, natural light was off.
