Battery life vs what document being read

I normally read .mobi formatted ebooks and I am quite used to not turning off but just setting the keyboard lock. I unlock, read a bit and then lock. The PP lasts a long time like this - much longer than a week for sure. Well I had one PDF book, opened it, locked the keyboard, came back two days later to a beep beep beep aka flat battery when I tried to unlock to do some reading.

So the question is. Has anyone noticed that the battery life under keyboard lock changes depending on what format they are reading?

My suspicion is that each ebook format has its own software to decode and just maybe some modules do not really go into an idle state????

ps running the December update.
