Power Indicator Light
I’ve got an Aura One LE & a Libra H20, both with latest FW. Both units are set to show the indicator light while charging (in the Energy & Power settings). However, that light is never on while charging. The only time it’s visible is when the Kobo is performing an update to the FW. Anyone else have this issue? Seems this light worked as intended on my old Aura H2O.

It illuminates only when asleep while charging. (At least on mine) And also, as you noted, during an update.

Thanks. Does it go off, once charged & while sleeping?

I cannot remember for certain, but I think it does. It's always in its sleepcover so I don't bother to look.

@93terp-

Ok, curiosity was killing me. The light does extinguish when "Charged: 100%" is reached. My only gripe is the location. Kobo should have placed the light on the exterior long edge, perhaps near the usb port. As it is, there is no way to know charging is complete until opening the cover and navigating to the home page to check. A really dumb design.

I did a quick test and confirmed that the indicator light does indeed go off after charging is completed.

ETA - doh! just saw your reply stating the same.

I totally agree! My other gripe is the location of the power button.

My theory is that Kobo put the power button in an awkward location on purpose in hopes of selling more sleep covers

That's it! Actually, the location is fine by me and I can understand the logic. I've read many complaints over the years regarding electronic devices and spent batteries after placing them in bags, purses, backpacks, etc.
