I had mine turned off, same battery life. Which makes sense: In iRex's FAQ they say that at least that part is already implemented in the current firmware: it will automatically shut down IO devices not in use after a while.
But no CPU throttling, suspend to RAM etc. yet. They clearly state that the new hardware is much better at power-saving than the Iliad. They just haven't programmed in the functionality. The Iliad started off with (very) poor battery life as well, and not much hardware support, and they still managed to squeeze out ~12 hours of running time in the end, according to one post here.
If the Reader is at the same point, considering it's more powerful (and thus powerhungry), the running time (battery) is already better than the Iliad.
Hopefully IRex won't take a year or more to get the firmware to the maturity the Iliad has at this point...
