There was a big thread a few months after the Glo came out regarding short battery life -for some it turned out they had covers with an internal pocket or flap that was breaking the IR across the display before the cover magnet could put the device into sleep mode as the cover was closed so the reader continued to stay awake likely drawing a lot of power keeping the IR on continuously waiting for the finger (flap) to be lifted. Simple fixes included gluing the flap or pocket to the cover, removing the flap/pocket, or tossing the silly things back at the idiots who sold them! The test was simply to remove the Kobo and sleep it with a flick of the power button -no more problem then the cover was at fault.
