Soo u mustve seen my previous posts.
Im using a new Kobo Libra Colour Got it 2 Weeks ago

I started reading in Koreader & the batter drain concerns me
started reading at 1.30pm with 97% (the battery just dropped to 97%)
continued reading till 1.55pm 96%
continued (inconsistent read after) 2.20pm dropped 95% n stopped
read about 20 more mins at 3pm-3.20pm it dropped to 94% (0% brightness at this time)

Honestly these are quite drastic changes..
I have :
WIFI OFF
SLEEP MODE WHENEVER I STOP USING
BLUETOOTH OFF
DISABLE WIFI CONNECTING
BRIGHTNESS 0%-30%
WARMTH MIDDLE RANGE

It seems to drastically drop 1% per 20mins.

Do you guys have any ideas what is causing this issue because I read for some people the battery is similar to stock UI while some eats up theirs?

How do I fix this to reduce battery drain because if its impossible to fix then I might uninstall Koreader…
I really care about battery life huhu because I use it everywhere and everytime Im free. I barely charge my device till the end of day or smtimes never.

Can someone explain what is KOReader? I did search around and its just an integration with new stuffs, and you can sideload your books in KOR.
I have been using calibre to sideload books though. Is there any difference?

recently i asked if KLC is better than Boox. Many said they are the same just Boox has way more things u can try. Now im only curious about the battery life for:

1. Reading without wifi
2. Reading with wifi
3. Reading on a different app
4. Annotating (if it makes a difference)

Many mentioned to me to stick with Kobo, after some research some say the boox battery lasts for 3 days, some say theres not a BIG difference, some say its the same. Do need an input on this

(idk why my texts are broke at the bottom i tried fixing it ) I already own KLC but booxs ecosystem is appealing eso the downloading apps to read manga/comics n etc. However i have a few questions to people who own both or has done their extensive research.

1. How is the screen like? I enjoy looking at the KLC screen but ofc the BW version is better.
2. Can Boox use calibre & support epub, cbz, pdfs
3. I love the simplicity of the UI for Kobo, while im aware boox is almost like an android, how bout their reading interface? Is it simple aswell?
4. Is the annotating style similar?
5. How is the battery life of boox? I use my kobo everyday so… battery life is a huge thing for me.
6. since the OS have apps n etc for boox, are lags a common issue?
7. Any other comparison is appreciated!!

If Boox is exactly like kobo just extra steps + good battery life, i might sell my KLC to get a boox. It depends! Really appreciate a good advice on this!

What’s important to me for ereader

1. I use Calibre alot
2. I read alot so battery needs to be good aswell as screen
3. I do annotat

e
4. Hows the library arrangement for Boox (IMPORTANT) —

1. being simple just like kobo and have the series section & whatnot is also important

.

1. I read comics/webtoons/

etc
I dont really use Overdrive or google drive feature. What gave away of me being interested in swapping is the downloading comic sites n etc. Bcs i do read them too.

UPDATED POST & CONCLUSION
Im getting my first E-Book but ofcourse Im on a budget so I will be buying a second-hand. Still the prices between these two differed ALOT.
I have tried out someones Kobo libra colour and it felt and looked amazing, I realised how much i appreciate the buttons. Though Kobo Libra 2 has no colours and is somewhat cheaper? TBH i cant find any kobo libra 2 on my countries online stores except the colour version. Second hand one is really cheap, should i get it? Does the colour really matter?? I read mostly novel, even manga is b&w. If i do some highlights, will it be seen as b&w aswell..?

Its my first product of e-book and i have only used n tried Kobo Libra colour. So im unsure what is good. I dont even know if the standard Kobo Libra Colour // b&w is better

EDITED
After a while of researching & thinking. I have decided to get Kobo Libra Colour instead and perhaps a brand new one instead a second hand. I realise that this item is LONG TERM and i dont just read novels, but i read so a variety of manga, manhwa & comics too. Having colourful annotation and scribbles is also my go to! I never wanted to spend more money for a pen haha but you know what?! Why not?! If this item is long term for my reading habit then its all worth the money.

Many prefer KL2 instead of KLC despite the screen issues but it all comes down to personal preference. I may love sharp easy to read texts, but i sure do love colours more!

Thank you for your thoughts and opinion guys!
