No, nothing changed other than the FW, I even put all the settings back to where they were right after putting the new FW on.

During these 3 cycles and when I discovered it died in 3 days before, I have left it sleeping on the carousel screen, not on a page of a book.

You don't have to stop using the device or wait for it run down on it's own. You can use it any way you like during battery depletion from 100% to 0%.
I know, but it was the easiest way to produce a controlled environment so I could see if calibration made any improvement on the accuracy of the battery meter. I also wanted to be able to accurately compare cycle length - how long it took each cycle to reach "please charge". I'm a bit OCD when I'm working with something or trying to figure it out. I was the kid with 3 control groups in science class, one for each type of control condition. LOL Anyway, I haven't been feeling well so I wasn't up to reading anyway (which is how I discovered the battery issue in the first place. Before, I just assumed I was running the battery down so fast because I read so much.)
