I also monitor the power usage in reading mode without turning the page and found the unit still drains at 4% per hour. That means page turns use very little power (only 2%) and most of the power is used to perform backgroud applications, such as checking the touch screen circuit (even when it is power off) and other monitoring functions. I just wish that I'm proficient in the Android OS; it would certainly be a fun project to modify the SW and see how each function affects the power.
nice facts, thanks for sharing

So I am down to 52% from when I first used it at 100%, read 1 book(250 page book) and 2 manga...I am content with this.
48% for a book of 250 pages+2 mangas (I don't know what they but I assume are like reading a little book) is nice to my taste. And we get a nice little LCD touchscreen unlike the Kindle
