I use Koreader almost all the time too, consistently 1.5% in active reading for my last 90% to 20% cycle, 0.05% in sleep. I do not have WiFi on though. Could maybe the newer firmware be less wifi efficient?

You do need to take the same unit, clean install and then do exactly the same thing to be sure it's the firmware.
