Well, certainly I don't like nickel also, but also is true that for some reason koreader when suspended has higher battery drainage that nickel.

That's the reason why I now power off reader if I won't read book for a longer time (in hours).

Some people suggest using suspend script (suspend.sh) from CoolReader that apparently has same battery impact as nickel's script. I didn't tried that though.

But, just to place here, this is suspend script from CoolReader (actually, from whole Vlasovsoft package):

#!/bin/sh

export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin

echo "suspend.sh: enter"

handler()
{
    kill -15 $pid
    echo 0 > /sys/power/state-extended
    echo "suspend.sh: killed"
    exit 1
}

trap handler SIGTERM

sleep 10 &
pid=$!
wait $pid

# disable wifi
if lsmod | grep -q sdio_wifi_pwr ; then
    wlarm_le -i eth0 down
    ifconfig eth0 down
    /sbin/rmmod -r dhd
    /sbin/rmmod -r sdio_wifi_pwr
fi

echo 1 > /sys/power/state-extended
echo "suspend.sh: delay 2s (dragon)"
sleep 2 &
pid=$!
wait $pid

echo "sleeping... zzz-zzz-zzz-zzz :)"
sync
echo mem > /sys/power/state
echo 0 > /sys/power/state-extended

echo "suspend.sh: normal exit"

And this is suspend script from koreader:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH="${PATH}:/sbin:/usr/sbin"

# Disable wifi
if lsmod | grep -q sdio_wifi_pwr ; then
	wlarm_le -i eth0 down
	ifconfig eth0 down
	rmmod -r dhd
	rmmod -r sdio_wifi_pwr
fi

# Go to sleep
sync
echo 1 > /sys/power/state-extended
sleep 2	# Because reasons?
echo mem > /sys/power/state
