Well, you'd have to define "drained". If I leave my device suspended for a week it'll discharge at least a few percent, but that's to be expected. But if you mean e.g. 10% in a night then that means the device didn't actually suspend at all (which is unrelated to whatever message may be drawn on the screen prior to attempting to suspend).

His testing was with overnight suspends. I now look at it as suspend is only for relatively short periods, like cleaning the screen or getting something to drink. I poweroff when not reading for any more extended period of time.
That doesn't reflect my extensive log-file based testing (including overnight etc.).* Once properly suspended, the only thing that'll wake up the device is a button press or some such. I do however agree that you might just as well turn off the device when you know you're not going to be using it for several days or more, although I generally don't.

* And not log-file based, reading a few thousand pages with overnight suspends etc. over the past month depleted my H2O's battery from a claimed 90% or so to a claimed 47%. I consider that acceptable and not subjectively significantly better or worse than what I got out of Nickel.
