Yep, I could believe that easily. It makes sense that it would take a lot more processor cycles to parse and prepare a PDF page then it would a simple epub.

Good point, I've kinda been ignoring PDF's entirely, and didn't really think about this when reading people report on battery life. Do people really use the Kobo for reading PDFs??
