Seems absurd to me if that is true - wasteful, perhaps - and can it cause 'screen burn' ?
Having looked at relevant posts before purchasing it, many references have been made to upgrading the firmware, both by Astak's version and the Cooler Reader version.
I find myself wondering what changes and/or improvements each of these provide and would genuinely appreciate more info if someone would oblige me here ?
When making any technology part of my daily life I want to understand how to use it as well as it's quirks (good or bad) and my reading habits are very important parts of my days !!!
I will appreciate any education anyone is willing to help me with here.
Thanks.

The only way to "burn" E-ink is to leave it out in the bright sun. Technically, then it will
Fade, just like anything else left to long in the sun.
(Don't leave the unit in the Sun or hot Car, The heat is not good for the electronics. If it is too hot to hold, it's too HOT for it.)
E-Ink is a Set and power down type of display. The Icon was probably to tell you that you are not just on a blank page
