Really strange...
Of course, your reader might behave totally different from mine. I'd have to repeat your user habits on mine.
But still: About the same energy consumption in more or less the same time, you with 9 hours of reading and switching files, myself briefly turning it on 9 times for checking the load...
And still this doesn't lead to discharging in 4 days (only if I get a sudden drop within the next 3 days)...
My explanation right now: It either didn't go into standby (did flicker the switch as always and the screen went blank, but who knows about the internal processes of the reader?) or it did turn itself on again (I've used my nook quite a few times in that period. nook lies next to iRex 800, so I probably would have seen, if iRex 800 would have been on permanently)...
