Today, here was much less power consumption than yesterday. Still it seems to me higher than what I am used to.
I fully charged my Touch yesterday night, and powered it off. In the morning it was still at 100%.
1) I read an English epub in day mode for approximately one and a half hours without using a dictionary. The battery went from 100% to 95%.
2) I read a Japanese kepub.epub in night mode for approximately another one and a half hours with intensive dictionary use. The battery dropped from 95% to 80%.
Unfortunately, I cannot compare these values with previous values since I never logged the power consumption. I will try to make a similar reading session without the night mode program next weekend, or during this week if I find the time.

I used to change my Japanese books from black on white to white on black by css, and did not notice any difference in power consumption or responsiveness. Of course, only the text pages were white on black; the status bar on the top and at the bottom remained black on white, as did the dictionary screen.

Are you sure that yours was at 97% the first time?
This is very similar to my first one and a half hours. I am pretty sure about the 97%.
