One of the most common misconceptions with the Sony readers is the difference between "Sleep Mode" and actually powering the reader off. So many people don't know the power slider works two ways. If you slide it to the right for less than 3 or 4 seconds it just puts the reader in a "Sleep Mode" where it is not turned off. IT REALLY IS A GOOD IDEA TO ACTUALLY POWER YOUR READER FULLY OFF EVERY NIGHT. That way your battery will last a lot longer, and the reader will behave better over all. To fully power the reader off slide the power switch to the right and hold it there for about 4 seconds, or until the screen changes and asks if you really want to power it off. Answer YES and the reader will be off. It takes a few extra seconds when you turn it on again the next time, but it really will stop problems from happening in the long run.
