Of course it is - the operating system. Turning the Reader "off" doesn't actually turn it off; it just blanks the screen and disables most of the buttons. The operating system is still running, doing things like updating the clock, waiting to see if you've pressed the power button, and so on. It's like putting a notebook computer into "Standby" mode. It still needs battery power, although a lot less than when it's turned on.
