Anyway, more tellingly, if what you proposed was the case, then, when the suspect book was tried on another unit with the same firmware, it would exhibit the same behaviour - and it doesn't. The reverse, has also been demonstrated - known good books cause bad battery life on "suspect" readers.
I'm not proposing anything, I'm just saying what the original thinking was behind suspect books causing problems. After testing of various books on good and bad readers it was found that this idea doesn't really hold water. Personally I don't think anyone here is likely to discover exactly what the problem is, we'll have to wait for Kobo to track it down.
