I'm still puzzled about turning the unit on and off with the power button. Sometimes I can power off directly from the book I'm reading, and then power-up directly back to my book, with no need to go through the main menu "Continue Reading". Other times, I can press and hold the power button forever and it won't turn off. I haven't been able to figure out if it depends on what format of book I'm reading, or anything else, but I hope that Augen can make the on/off operation more consistent. Being able to go immediately back to my book consistently would be great.

One more enhancement wish (again) - PLEASE implement an auto power-off after X minutes feature. If you fall asleep while reading at night like I do, you really miss this!

I think I have figured out the power button- at least, I can get it to behave consistently. one quick tap, and it shuts off, one quick tap, and I am back in the book on the page I was reading. Hold it just a fraction longer to power off or on, and you are in the menu. Continue reading will bring you back.
