The battery will only drain very slowly if the Reader is switched off.

However, very few people turn the Reader off (ie using the "Shutdown" menu command). Sliding the so-called "power switch" does NOT turn if off - it merely blanks the screen and locks most of the buttons. In that mode, a battery charge will last perhaps 2-3 weeks.
