I had Settings 'Automatically go to Sleep' after 10 minutes and "Automatically Power-Off' Never. I've changed 'Automatically Power-Off' to 15 minutes and the device has stopped fully discharging overnight. It's now been running on the same charge for 6 days and is at 62%.

It is kind of annoying to have to Power on every time I use it, but it was also annoying to have to charge the thing every day. But I really can't see any way to pleasantly combine my sleeping habits with Kobo's prominent On/Off button. Wish they'd recess it instead.
That still seems like abnormal behaviour. My kobo devices are set to never shutdown, and I don't see any quick discharges.
