Unfortunately the open community concerning the engineering of these devices is very small. It would be nice if someone had some lab tools to test to see if battery life of devices is affected with a highly compressed VS low compressed ebook.
There must be some sort of "perfect solution" (for lack of a better word in English) that one can have the best battery life and best compression in one package.
The unfortunate part is that power consumption already is so low, and it's very hard to actually measure power consumption on ebook reading.

Decompressing, 'higher compression' takes more CPU crunch power (that many devices don't have) and leads to increased battery consumption
and slowness
