That is certainly a good possibility. It is up to the Linux OS itself to suspend all processes and power consuming hardware before putting ARM into sleep mode. The early V5 firmware releases had some really serious bugs in sleep power management, and there may be some situations with this new firmware that have caused those bugs to resurface. What is really strange is that this situation only seems to happen to some people. The Lbook firmware has been using CoolReader 3 since last year, and I have not read anything about power management issues with their firmware, and I have been using Lbook firmware myself for quite some time myself.
