Title: PocketBook Verse Pro – Battery drain while the device is sleeping (about 5% per day)

Message:
Hi everyone,
I’m using a PocketBook Verse Pro with a magnetic sleep cover. When the device is not in use and the screen is locked, it still loses around 5% of battery per day. I always thought that E-Ink screens use power only when turning pages or when the frontlight is on, but in this case the reader is completely idle and the battery still slowly drains.

Before this, I used a Kindle, and in the same conditions the battery lasted for weeks — it could stay unused for a very long time without losing even a single percent.

Is this normal for the Verse Pro, or could something else be causing the drain?
Has anyone encountered and solved this issue?

Any advice would be appreciated!
