Hi sameerh, thanks for your input. Perhaps you can explain the rationale behind the forced shutdown after 15 min sleep. To me it seems like a case of engineers thinking they know better than users how to use their own device. I think I'm most annoyed by the fact that it removes user choice: I should be able to choose between the convenience of picking up the Kobo any time and starting reading immediately (at the cost of battery life), or switching it off completely for maximum longevity. The latest update actually removed this functionality, and I think will probably create a fair bit of dissatisfaction.
