So, looks like, amongst other things, Coolreader does indeed flatten batteries.
I am going to reload the previous firmware after it recharges.

It killed my battery as well. Did the upgrade yesterday & charged my battery completely, took it off the charger at 5:30pm, opened my current book (.prc file) and engaged the key lock. Turned on the reader at 8:00am today & the battery was completely dead. I'm getting ready to reinstall the old firmware as well. I loved the CoolReader integration (what little I saw of it), but I love my battery more!
