If screen burn is an issue, I wonder why iRiver implemented the (totally undocumented!) random classical artwork feature that kicks in after a period of inactivity? (I baulk at calling it a screen-saver, because the images are much more screen-intensive than any regular page of text.)
Unless I simply fall asleep while reading (oh so frequent!), I tend to shut my Story down after a session. Two reasons: since I'm not certain, I'm cautious about burning the screen; but mostly it's because I've found that when I let the Story just fall asleep because I have, when it wakes up it never quite remembers exactly where it left off, and usually re-opens the file to a spot three or four pages earlier. (I'm not sure why - maybe it's a flaw in the Story's OS - maybe it doesn't write its temporary bookmark correctly on going into sleep mode - but it could also be a flaw in the ePub format or in the file not being 100% compliant; either way, it tends to happen fairly often when I let the Story "sleep", but not when I return to the menu and intentionally shut it down.) It's not a big deal, I guess. (And if the screen gets burn-in and I can't use it, I'll just have to buy the new model with the higher-spec display!)
