Sleep mode on the nook
I was wondering about the sleep mode of the nook. I would like to just put it to sleep when I'm done reading instead of shutting it down, but the "screen saver" seems to be a contradiction.
I would like to just put it to sleep with no screen saver, seems it might save on battery with a blank screen and would also prevent burn in since the screens change so infrequently. Anyway to do this? |

An e-ink screen cannot burn in, so the infrequent screen change is not a problem (the change does need power!). |

Also, when I'm not going to read in, let's say, 4 hours or more I just turn off the device, sleeping mode consumes a little energy but not because the e-ink screen but the process running on background, I think it's like 0,5% of the battery per hour. |

I have had mine on sleep mode for a good 3 weeks and the battery has just gotten to the halfway mark.I have also done the drain the battery and charge it full once a month so my battery keeps a better charge than when i first got it.
