Having a button to lock the device when on.
I am wondering if there is a way to lock the device when reading. Maybe a button can be programmed to lock the device just like the shutdown function is prscustomizer, which is brilliant.

Its irritating when I want to change my spot while reading or if something comes up- the page/zoom buttons get pressed.

I feel sad that I don't know anything about programming, so all I can do is talk. I'm sorry.

Just to clarify, by lock I mean button lock not device lock!

I don't know anything about programming either. But setting a bookmark might help a bit.

Yeah, standby is basically a button lock that also clears the screen. It's not actually turning it "off".
