So, I hope you see now, obviously tells us all that KSM isn't culprit.
Second, if you read issue, culprit for false sleep is a bit more (a lot more) complicated. Maybe now when suspend script is written in lua would be solved. It remains to be seen.
Third, nickel uses less battery when reading not because it is simpler software, but because it is written in such fashion that after user turns page he goes in sleep and only leaves IR active waiting for next user input.
Koreader doesn't enter sleep mode when it is on. Maybe some day it will, it is theoretically possible to program it to behave like that.
This a bit higher battery drain when reading isn't that big that it makes that big difference. Especially with KA1 which usually also uses battery for light (which obviously couldn't be stopped in periods when device waits for user input).

Thanks for clarification, i am having an ereader just a few days. It is an undiscovered land to me.
Btw. is there any way to display a custom screensaver on KA1, except for replacing all covers? I have discovered a
hack for it, but it was for GloHD only (or it appeared to be). I tried searching the forum, it found a few mentions, but none of them was very helpful. It would be nice, to be welcomed by an artwork every time I open the sleep cover
in case, this hack works, where should i put the image (images?)?
EDIT: I found out, that there is an option in the KOReader to display images from a folder, that's great
i would love to have this even for Nickel, but better then nothing
