After you close the pdb file it stays in memory (there are up to 4 docs active, just like on the dr1000), so even when you've closed the pdb file, it might still be doing something/ draining your battery. We could test this by comparing two situations:
1) open a pdb book, close it, put the device in standby and watch the battery drop (%/h)
2) open the same pdb book, close it, open and close 4 different pdf files, to make sure the pdb isn't still active in the back ground, and watch the battery drop (%/h)
I'll continue my test for another 12 hours or so. If it still points towards 10 to 12 days, I'll switch to the test you suggest.
I mainly read B&N PDBs, so basically I already do your test 1.)
But I've read those PDBs before as well, so there wasn't something special, when the 4 days have happened.
