Has someone made tests about the battery retention in these three cases?
(I am especially interested in such an experiment for the Kobo Clara HD)

For now, I'm used to let my device enter suspend mode after 5 minutes and shut down after half an hour -- and I've got battery for over a week or two, depending on how much I read --, but for this reason I have to start my device again several times a day.

I would like to know if the battery retention would be drastically lower if I disabled the automatic shut down and let it on all week.

I would also like to know if it uses more battery to stay in the reading mode instead of entering the suspend mode, if back-lighting is disabled anyway (I don't use it a lot). (In other words, is the suspend mode only about disabling the back-lighting?)

Have experiments be done? If not, what do you think? Thanks in advance!


Further questions asked in the replies :

Do you know if it is actually possible, maybe from the eReader.config file, to set the automatic shutdown to a few days? I know the setting is made there, but is it safe to try to put there any value, such as the number of minutes in a day and a half? I don't know if it only accepts given values or if it recognises any number...
