No matter which file type it opens ONLY to the menu and does not even try to return to the open book.
Nasty. Very Nasty.
Starts VERRRRRY slowly-> MUST then display the ridiculous, useless grayscale animation-> stops at the 'Green Book' logo for too long-> and only THEN finally gets to the main menu.
A mere 5 or 6 more selections and I am FINALLY at my book. Woof.
Nice device.....Rotten software.
Best Wishes.

E-Ink devices are designed to be left ON (or locked).
Long boot times are immaterial, since they are done so infrequently.
It's been weeks since I re-booted, I have read dozens of books, connected and updated dozens more, and never re-booted. I remember re-booting because I have to set the pita clock that could have been powered from the main battery with a few tiny components (LDO reg, caps)
IMHO the only times to turn the unit OFF is to load firmware or long term storage (and remove the battery)
