Yes, but knowing that these options all use power means that you can make some decisions, based on YOUR personal usage, what to disable and what not to.
My Mom has a tablet and never uses the SD card that we bought her, so if that is using up battery power, I'm just going to disable it unless she needs it. I have an SD card in my Nook that I rarely use, so may choose to disable it. My late sister used the dictionary maybe twice in the year she had my ereader, so for her, that would have made sense to disable it. Touch screen - that's probably the least likely to be disabled.
On tablets, the more apps you have that require a location, the more power you use. Disable or remove apps you don't use.
