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.
Hmmm
I read mostly EPUB here, but the few PDF that I read were using the XPDF viewer (Menu option.) So the next question: Which viewer?
