No, the "official" line on the posting from Kobo was that they were NOT going to change the sleep/power-off timing, nor make it user-definable. They have decided that this is what Kobos do and it will remain like that whether you liike it or not.

What Jordan from Kobo did say was this:

- We can't change the sleep/power duration as it will eat into your batteries natural life. If you don't care about that, let us know and maybe we can find a solution.

Now, patently they *can* change the behaviour, just like any hardware vendor can. So we need to correct his use of the word "can't", where he presumably means "won't" or at the very least "don't want to". However, he hasn't acknowledged me "letting him know" yet, so I don't know whether he's trying to find a solution.
