It will greatly shorten your "on-battery time".
As a general rule, you only have 4 to 8 hours of battery capacity.
If you normally keep your Kindle on external power, not a problem.
A better plan is to have either manually triggered (say, a KUAL button) or an event driven (say, "going to screensaver") script.
Those should let the processor shut down when it normally does (about 96% of the time, it is stopped - that is where the "months" between recharges comes from - it isn't "on").
