As many of you know, I just got a forma. I understand the light bands, but my battery stinks. with wifi off, in about 2 hours of reading, I lost 20% of battery. that's worse than my phone.

. I use caliber, although not vigorously, just to put tor.com books on. so far I have only charged through my computer, to 100%. I HAVE NOT "repaired the device" as Microsoft suggests when I plug it in. I have not done a factory reset today, however yesterday after making a mistake getting pb chess, it had to repair its self, and that triggered a reset. even before that, the battery drained fast (wifi was on then). any ideas? I am on the latest firmware according to kobo sync.

TD;LR kobo forma battery issues

10% a hour
wifi is off
factory reset due to error yesterday
still had issue yesterday
Barly use calibre (most books from overdrive)

any ideas?
