I think you misread what was said. You can change the settings so it never turns off and the battery will last 5 days. If you do this the boot time is 0 seconds. You open the cover and you're reading.

I personally have changed by settings so it doesn't auto power off until 1 hour of inactivity. If I know that I'm not going to read within the next hour I power it off to save the batteries. I don't mind waiting the 22s the next time I read though. I've been reading this way for the last 12 days without a recharge and the battery is still showing 40%. It's a personal choice. You can have 0 boot time and 5 days of battery life or live with the 22s boot time and get greater then 2 weeks of battery life.
