I could continue reading but now I'm wondering could the SD card have drained the battery?
Yes it could be. Even if the problem didn't occur with my reader i've seen enough posts on this topic. Nobody knows why a SD-Card should drain the battery when the reader is in sleep-mode. If the problem still exist, i would backup the contents and reformat the SD-Card - even if there is no lucid explanation why this could help.
