Has anyone noticed that the PRS-500 since upgrade appears to drain the battery during sleep at a faster rate?
I know people have been going on about shortened battery rates, but it seems to drain more during sleep than it used to and this may be what people are observing. (It appears to drain at the same old rate while awake.)
Maybe some unwanted Linux process is running while the device is in sleep mode under the new firmware?
We need someone to find out what it is, in this case. Maybe the process can be 'killed' without harm.
