Thank you Bill Lumburgh. I will play with the debugging option. A 10 minute sleep time is a bit excessive (IMO), but if the device must go to sleep just leave the last page read on the screen so that if I only have a chance to read a single page I don't have to turn the device on to get back to the book, this should be a option as well. Turning the unit on 10 minutes later will probably negate any power savings since the device has to refresh the screen to resume the book. I understand that the device is never really off unless a shutdown is invoked by the user, since the device check for news, magazines, etc unless the radios are turned off. My radios are normally off unless tasked specifically by me to download a book, etc. Heck 10 minutes is how long it would take for me to explain the device to someone at my local coffee shop.
