Just now, I was reading with the battery looking like it had a bit over 10% charge. Suddenly, it just shut down and wanted charging. It gave no popup requesting it be charged. It just turned off and wouldn't come on until I plugged it in.

I've also had two or three freezes where I had to force shutdown the device and restart it. I haven't seen that issue for several firmwares.
Since 4.35, my Sage has also had one instance of the battery issue and several of the freeze and forced shutdown issue you mention, whereas before such issues were quite rare. It is generally still fine, but loading books and putting it into sleep mode seem a bit more sluggish, and the freeze occurs sporadically when turning a page or clicking on an icon in the pull-down menu.
