I have Kindle DX with software upgraded to 3.2.1

I recently learned that one can disable screensaver using " ~disableScreensaver" and I really prefer it with screensaver disabled.

Is there any downside to leaving screensaver off? Screen burn-in is probably not an issue

but it seems battery life is affected. Does it mean OS never goes to sleep anymore (as opposed to when screensaver was on)?
