Simply pressing the power button to enter sleep mode when you're done reading seems like a much simpler solution than doing a factory reset and hoping that it makes the sleepcover work properly again.

If you have a sleep cover, and you want the sleep cover to work, your "solution" doesn't seem like a solution, just a work poor work around.

My point was that since the sleep cover is too old to be returned, and if fogice doesn't want to spend money buying a replacement, then using the power button to enter sleep mode is probably the only way to avoid both the battery drain at night and the random sleeping during the day. Yes, it would be ideal for Kobo to fix the firmware so that the automatic sleep timer works when the sleep cover is closed, but that's not going to happen in the short term.

A new sleep cover (not the kobo official one) would cost only a very few dollars and solve the problem, so it depends how much it's worth for you to solve it.
That's what I'd do though rather than fiddle around with foil, or have to turn it on and off. But then we're all different ![]() |
