Battery Draining While Sleep Mode (Kindle PW)

Have you downloaded any books? It could be stuck indexing
Nothing like this , I checked all the possibles myself but I have a large library more than 150 books To be sure I will leave the device on sleep mode with screensaver for along time and see if the battery reduces or no
Did it drain completely when it was left over night? If not, try hard booting it by turning it completely off (hold the button for 7 seconds or so) and back on, and see if it gets better.I can assure you that this isn't normal.
yes it drained completely then I also think it was not normal but it never happened before
and I don't know the reason and waiting to test it to calculate the battery consumption
but I ask if the sleep option consumes battery a bit or its same as turn off
Another question please Does using highlights , notes and the dictionary a lot reduces the 28 hours of battery life ?
I read in English and use notes a lot about 5 times each page . maybe this is a sensible reason why my battery doesn't reach the 28 hours ?
cause I charged it yesterday to test it and used it for 8 hours at 2 days and the battery is 60% now
Same thing suddenly started happening to me, and it took me awhile but the problem ended up being solved easily, once I knew what it was. You have to shut off your location-based services in the settings and if you get ANY notices popping up about letting where you are be known, hit "Cancel" - otherwise it acts like a GPS, is constantly running and draining your battery. I was fine for the longest, years, then suddenly my batter in sleep mode wouldn't even last overnight ... until I shut that off. I also rebooted my Kindle, and at one point even put it back to factory settings because the rep thought I was getting the pop-up becaus some app was constantly trying to read my location. ZERO problems with it since, and that's been maybe ... 2 years now?
What do you mean by location ? You mean the pages location ? The reading progress
There is no GPS on kindle E readers
Sorry, my bad, mine is a Fire, and it's under settings. If you don't have "Location Based Services" to turn off on your Kindle paper-white, that can't be what's draining the batter, obviously. It definitely was the issue on my Fire.
I contacted Amazon again and they advised me to update my device to the newest edition 5.7.4 instead of 5.7.3 Also I (reset) my kindle before updating to fix any possible bugs in system but after that when I attached the kindle to my computer the documents folder only is shown . the (active content sandbox) folder isn't exist although the device works well . Whats the hell is that malware or something ?
I doubted it before although most reviews say the opposite but two days ago I Left my device at night with about 15% of battery and woke up the next morning to find it empty
I tried to test the device while reading to calculate the rate of consuming to find it acceptable so I think the problem is just about the sleep mode option which is supposed to not consume any battery at all
So what does it mean ? Should I use the turn off option ? Does it happen with you or is it something wrong with mine ?
