Anything is possible, but really, I would have hoped the software design was such that the operating system had control over the hardware, hence a problem like battery drain could not be caused by an application program, especially a simple reader program.

A little evidence of this might be found in what happened to the lbook software recently As I understand it, it seems that the developer changed to using different base software for the recent builds with the new Coolreader, and this started battery drain problems. Going back to the last one built on the old system, still with the new Coolreader, fixes the battery problem.
