Hi,

the title may sound somewhat irritating, but my question is whether I can leave my eInk device turned on all the time. There are two aspects spefically that I am worried about:
1) Can the screen "freeze" it shows the same page for a long period of time (say 1 hour or more)
2) I heard that only turning pages would cost energy. So theoretically, it wouldn't matter if the deviced would be turned on or off.

Am I seeing this correctly or is there some misunderstanding that I am not aware of?

Thanks.
