The processor must run, so I think it will consumer power.

Yes, the processor runs and it consumes power. It is only a very small amount because it will go into some kind of sleep mode, but nevertheless.

The screen only consumes power when it "builds up" the next page while page turning, the "showing" itself doesn't need power.
How many power will be consumed in sleep mode differs from reader to reader.
