In fact your example pretty much eliminates books as the cause. 
Neither can I see see/imagine what mechanism might cause it. Books are data, and unless they are actively being processed, they just sit in memory having very little effect on battery drain. (should I add IMO YMMV etc etc ) |
I agree entirely. In fact, the battery draining also occurs when I sleep my Glo from the home screen, where no book at all is in memory.

Hah. Maybe it
isn't entering sleep mode...? Unrelated to the book though, as the draining occurs also from sleeping from the home screen. But, maybe for some reason the problem devices are giving us the sleep screen, but actually are not sleeping? Hmmm interesting. I'd have to test battery drainage when leaving the device on aaaaalll night. (Poor thing.)

I can't remember if we've covered this*... Are any of you with problem batteries using a cover or sleeve that touches the screen during sleep? And any of you without problems and without a cover or a cover/sleeve that definitely keeps clear of the screen, or vice versa...? I have a cover/sleeve kind of thing with soft *everything* and I suspect it touches the screen. So perhaps the sensors aren't completely inactivated and keep wanting to report screen touches?

No pun intended...
