Well the battery & processor can never truly shutdown, otherwise it wouldn't wake up since the buttons are capacitive.
I must admit I've never been able to leave mine long enough to determine the quiescent discharge rate though. I keep using it. However, when I go away on vacation later, I will find out as I'll take the Cybook rather than the DR. So I'll charge the DR before hand & see after 5 days or 2 weeks whether it has lasted the course. In the meantime, it would be interesting to see other peoples experiences.
