Problem solved!

I sip the coffee and the device is ready for me.
Well, there you go, being practical. I do the same thing with my Kobo, when I think about it.

I don't understand why it can't just sleep like the Kindle, though. I haven't looked at my Kindle in about three weeks and it's still about 80% charged up, and it wasn't fully charged three weeks ago.

My page turns are waaay under what was advertised...I get maybe one book per charge. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue, now. Something just ain't right. This isn't a major problem, but it's less than what was promised. I don't feel that I could take it on a vacation without the charger.
