For argument sake, let's imagine my PRS-505 has the wacom screen.
I read a book for 1 hour. Is the wacom screen on all the time during the reading session?
I switch off PRS-505, in fact we know it doesn't power off, only clears screen and engages lock buttons feature (unless I perform a full shutdown that I never ever do). What about wacom screen? Would it be still on in this situation?
