That was by far the biggest disappointment for me. When compared to Kindle PW5's battery life Libra 2 is a terrible terrible device.
3-4% battery drain as best case (and sometimes as much as 10%) for each 24h in standby / sleep mode should be unacceptable to anyone that has ever owned a non-Basic Kindle.
Not all of us care about battery life. I only use my ereaders at home and it's easy to charge them whenever necessary. Plus, I used mainly the Oasis models before switching to Kobo, and those had worse battery life than the Libra 2. I guess you have never used an Oasis, if you think the Libra 2 is considerably worse than Kindles.

Other factors (screen and ergonomics, for example) are far more important to me than battery life.
