Anyway, I've set the BW to power off after 60 minutes of non-use, and will also check the automatic sync feature. At least I now know the BW is behaving normally.
I suggest you turn your turn-off timer. It's only going to cause even more battery usage as you'll constantly have to reboot your Kobo. That why there is a sleep mode.

I liked the way Sony did it. If after two days of non-use, it turned off. 60 minutes would mean turning on the Kobo possibly multiple times at day and at least once a day.
