The bug: in some states, power consumption wasn't tapering off as much as it should have when the device went into sleep mode. We found the bug and fixed it

But from what we are being told, it sounds as if the "fix" simply entails turning the Kobo off after 30 minutes. I have already taken to powering down my Kobo between reading sessions to conserve battery life, but I was hoping after the firmware update that this would no longer be necessary.
