I use sleep all the time. But tested against complete shutdown too, and the battery indeed last longer (2 weeks vs 2 weeks plus 3 days)
I also found letting it sleep without using it also consumes battery, I once left mine 1 bar and not using it for 3 or four days and found the battery was drained when I was going to use it. Take note however, I have not yet tested this on complete shutdown. So extra 3 days for my kind of usage is not that much of a difference I think, so I'll just sleep it all the time. If you are going for a 3 or more days without your reader I think it'll be better to shut it down. |

I have tried landscape but then the page break does not happen on the same line i.e. page is not broken in half and I need to search for the end of the previous screen side. Unfortunately most academic or non-fiction texts are in pdf and as yet I have not found a tool which converts cleanly to epub; I am using Calibre at present. That said all the other formats (epub, txt, rtf, BBeB etc) work very well and in all I am very pleased with it. I have read more books in the past week then in the whole month before. Paul |

On a related note, I found it irritating when I would set it down for a few minutes and come back to see it was in standby mode. So I selected:
Settings -> System Management -> Power Management -> Off OK Now it stays on forever or until I put it in standby, which I often do if I'm not going to read it for half a day or so. |
