Yes, and? If the standby time for the CPU is just a couple of days that does not matter.

says the LCD display consumes 20mW. So if you turn on the reader every time you want to read then it is not obvious that this power consumption affects the total reading time so much. Was it 20 hour reading time that was claimed for the Cybook? That is 50mW with a 1000mAh battery. So you get 15h or so with the LCD display.
