I have used Koreader, it is configured so that as a screensaver the book that is being read appears, after a night in standby and 1 hour of reading, it has consumed 15-20% of battery. It is normal?
It's mostly the automatic updates we try to avoid.

Did you use the Prevent OTA Updates in the Helper+ add-on? That made a big difference in battery drain on my PW4. It creates both the blocking directory and a SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK file.

The PW4 is very aggressive phoning home and checking for updates. The update.bin.tmp.partial folder only blocks updates from downloading. The SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK file prevents it from phoning home (which uses a lot of battery).
