This may explain why results are so varied.
I think you right. I tried loading "stardict" on DR800sg yesterday. It seemed that it loaded but didn't show up on the screen. I suspended and locked the reader last night. It dropped from 98% to 93% this morning. That's a big drop as compared to the prior night when it dropped only 1%. I think if we reboot prior suspending the reader, it will reduce battery drain.
