I don't turn it off if I'm just going to put it down for 5 minutes, but I do turn it off when I know that I'm not going to use it for several hours. Really, 25 seconds is not a long time. Pick the CyBook up, pressing the power switch as you do so, sit down in a chair, get yourself comfy, and it's pretty much ready for use.

For me, that works very well. I know that you feel differently about it, and perhaps for you the BeBook would be a better choice.

So how many books did you read on the cruise?
I think it was about 4 or 5. I used it to catch up on my huge list of unread Baen books (although it didn't make much of an impression on that list!).
