At the risk of raising your blood-pressure again, could I suggest that you try it with the cover back on for one more session - if it goes back to the same behaviour, we <i>know</i> we are on the right track. (Just wanting to eliminate the possibility that it is something to do with where you went away.)

Here's the proof:

Code:
18 Mar 2013 10:18	100%	epub, sleep	
18 Mar 2013 16:26	100%	on, reading+light	6h 8m
18 Mar 2013 17:06	100%	sleep                 	0h 40m
19 Mar 2013 10:40	100%	on, sleep             	17h 34m
19 Mar 2013 20:31	100%	on, sleep             	9h 51m
20 Mar 2013 09:12	100%	on, sleep             	12h 41m
21 Mar 2013 17:43	100%	on, reading+light	32h 31m
21 Mar 2013 18:58	100%	sleep                 	1h 15m
21 Mar 2013 23:24	100%	on, reading+light	4h 26m
21 Mar 2013 23:39	100%	sleep                 	0h 15m
22 Mar 2013 16:42	100%	on                     	17h 3m
22 Mar 2013 16:43	99%	reading + light     	0h 1m
22 Mar 2013 19:23	97%	sleep                 	2h 40m
22 Mar 2013 20:17	97%	on, reading+light	0h 54m
22 Mar 2013 21:59	94%	sleep                 	1h 42m
22 Mar 2013 22:07	94%	on, reading+light	0h 8m
23 Mar 2013 00:08	94%	stop reading        	2h 1m
23 Mar 2013 00:09	93%	sleep                 	0h 1m
23 Mar 2013 11:52	93%	on, reading+light	11h 43m
23 Mar 2013 12:12	92%	sleep                 	0h 20m
23 Mar 2013 12:20	92%	on, reading+light	0h 8m
23 Mar 2013 13:12	92%	sleep                 	0h 52m
23 Mar 2013 13:36	92%	on, reading+light	0h 24m
23 Mar 2013 19:41	90%	sleep                 	6h 5m
23 Mar 2013 20:16	90%	on, reading+light	0h 35m
24 Mar 2013 00:39	87%	finish book, home screen, sleep	4h 23m
24 Mar 2013 11:52	87%	on, look around in library	11h 13m
24 Mar 2013 11:56	84%	sleep, wait, put Glo in sleeve	0h 4m
25 Mar 2013 10:09	84%	on, sleep            	22h 13m
Okay, so it wasn't exactly 5 hours sleeping a day, but almost, on average. Total reading time is 20h 13m. From 100% to 84% went with steps of 0.1% decrease per hour (if you average it all out). Using this rate, and assuming linear battery life (which it isn't), I'd get 1,049.06 hours out of the battery !! That's 43.7 days. Quite a bit more than the poorly 3.3 days or whatever it was when I used to sleep my Glo in its sleeve*.

As for TechniSol's delicious idea, see the last two lines of my data: My Glo's been asleep and in its sleeve for the last -almost- 24 hours. I put the Glo to sleep, then waited a bit (could have even been an hour, I've no idea), and then put it in its sleeve safe for travelling home. No battery drain even though I'm completely certain the sleeve was touching the screen during travelling in my bag. So, IR beams switch off if not interrupted during switch off...?



*How rude! It's only $10 there while I bought it for more than twice as much!

Careful! You might get me admitted to hospital!


But yes, I suppose that is the most scientific route

They look better figures, and I think we are almost at the point of narrowing this down. It is certainly good to know that there isn't a major problem with firmware or hardware, and I can start my cunning plan to get a Glo

I wouldn't want to do that! It does seem unfair to suggest it after you've had a realxing time away, though ...

I just occured to me that I had a worry about a case pressing on the screen when I got mine for the Touch, and after lots of research, I went for this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006I2NEBQ. The flap sits well away from the screen when closed, and it functions as an efficient stand as well.

Well, I defy anyone hearabouts from telling the attendants from the inmates...

Has anyone other than the Mrs. been testing to see if leaving the Glo out of the case with nothing interrupting the IR prior to shutdown solves their issues?
