Even simpler

Having problems with the tiny on off switch I remember reading some where in the instructions about a sleep cover, assuming this was magnetically activated I tried waving a magnet about over my Kobo, no luck.

Then I looked on the Internet and found this site, it helped me find how to switch this function on and bingo it worked. I did not have any fancy magnets, but did have a small round fridge magnet taken form one of these things plastic things you stick on fridges. using drafting tape I stuck the magnet on the outside of the cover, when I had found the best spot I simply used a strong double sided sickly tape on the front of the magnet (some times one side is weaker than the other) cut round the magnet to trim the tape to size and stuck the magnet on the cover. Works perfectly and no problem about the magnet damaging the reader. You do have a magnet on the outside of the cover but hay it cheap and works.

Thanks for your help
