The next day, when I take the Sage out, it's 100% as expected, but the cover is 0%. Why? Logically I'd expect the cover to be at 90%, as it only had to charge the 10% the Sage had lost. Why did it drain itself?
Your kidding, you really think that is the designed behaviour? There's a bug somewhere. For some reason the battery in the cover is being run down. It could be an error in display. Have you taken the device out of the cover and put it back in to check? And are those actual numbers? The exact battery usage of the PowerCover to charge 10% on the Sage is unlikely to be 10% of the PowerCover. Exactly how much will depend on relative battery sizes and the efficiency of doing this.

And the be clear, you agree with me about how this should work. That it isn't working properly is a separate issue.

And, of course, have you told Kobo it isn't working properly?
