Yes, the reader does some processing in the background.
If you only lock the keyboard, on the PB360, you can expect 10 days to 2 weeks battery life.
If you turn it off in between reading sessions, you can expect as much as 3 weeks battery life.
If you only lock the keyboard and keep the motion sensor on full time you'll see a week to ten days battery life.

The background processing is one of the reasons the Pocketbooks are stable and fast paging; other readers put the CPU to full sleep between page turns which means it has to wakeup, read in a page, render it to memory, and *then* display it.
