Speaking of battery life...

If you 'suspend' the tablet, does it continue to consume battery? On my PB360, I use the "save the last page" trick so that I can turn it off and then back on again and start reading right away, as 'sleeping' in the PB360 continued to use battery (much more battery than I think it should have, IMHO).

So, does the IQ drain its battery while it's "sleeping", too? Is there a similar "trick" (like we use for the PB360) needed, and available, to make the IQ last a reasonable length of time? Or can you shut it all the way down and then start it back up and it is ready to read (or use in any other way) nearly instantly?

Thanks!
