so, in my experience the size of the file, and how much of it gets loaded at a time, seem to affect drain, which I think is what Mrs. Often is also noticing on her device.
Thanks for passing along this information. I too find it interesting and will take it into consideration when next worrying about my battery. It seems to be working well at the moment -- 3 hours reading a day for 14 days is good enough for me.
