So when the unit IS in sleep mode, it will be far quicker to start reading again (I seem to recall that many people were disappointed about the 15 minute shut down on the 1.4 firmware), and, if you DO want to turn the unit fully off, it is just a matter of holding down the power button.

The point of my post was to ask if the new kobo can be turned off. JPenguin made it sound like it
couldn't be turned off at all.
I think it's fantastic that they got rid rid of the auto-shutdown feature. It drives me nuts that everytime I put my reader down for a few minutes to help one of my kids with their homework, or fix dinner, or whatever other thing I may have to do, I then have to wait for my reader to turn back on. For me 1 minute can be a very, very long time
