Libra H2O battery

I have a Libra H20 running koreader.

It uses around 2% battery a day while suspended. Is that normal? If so what's it doing?

It's keeping the memory powered so it doesn't lose what's on there, so it can get going in a second. It won't do that if you turn it off, but then it'll take let's say 10 seconds to boot. As long as you use it every few days standby is therefore almost always preferable, but of course you could always opt to power it off instead.

Daily reminder that the battery gauge on Kobos is meaningless. Just charge your device when you can and stop worrying about it.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Your absolutely| correct of course, I just got a bit OCD about it.
Battery just reduced 13% during a 5 minute reading session right before my eyes. No point in bothering about that sort crazy stuff. It's in the bin now

Yes, I wouldn't put much stock in it other than as a general high/medium/low indicator.
