I was curious so I left my T80s in standby (not shutting down after 120 minutes as I had previously had it set). For some reason it did drop in power about 4% in the first 5 hours after I stopped using it. Then over the next 12 hours it didn't drop in power at all. As I mentioned in previous posts I usually leave Bluetooth and wireless turned off. I only turn them on when I require them.

Just so people curious will have an idea of the apps I run. Here is the list of Apps I regularly use on my T80s ereader.

ReLaunchX (2.1.2) - file manager and launcher for e-Ink (I granted root permissions)
Moon+ Reader Pro - ebook reader
ColorDict - Dictionary
Calibre Companion - ebook manager used to transfer books from Calibre on my PC wirelessly to the device. Launch books in Moon+ Reader Pro. Copy ebook cover image to pictures directory.
Comic Viewer - Use it to set the cover image of the current book I'm reading as the Standby image.
File Manager HD - by Cheeta Mobile, file management (I granted root permissions)
Battery HD - Tracking battery use.
DropBox - Allows Calibre Companion to connect to my Dropbox and download books from my Calibre library.
Keep - Google's simple note app. I used it for short notes, store lists, reminders etc...
Play Store - To install and update apps.
Conversion - Converts various measures lbs - oz - kg, temp F - C, etc...
Settings - Device settings
Settings - Android settings
UC Browser - For the rare times I have a need to navigate the web from the reader. As a rule I usually navigate the web on my PC or tablet.

After I rooted this device I used the following programs

SuperSU - To manage root permissions for apps.
Xposed Installer - used this to run GravityBox.
GravityBox - used to add the following functionality.
  • Long press of Home icon brings up recent app list to allow me to switch apps or swipe them away.
  • Long press on Back icon brings up volume control, desirable because there are no physical volume keys.
  • Double click bottom physical Home button to take screen shots.
Backup - No backup app installed yet, any suggestions?
