Hello~!

Got my first real eReader the other day. A 650, so far i'm loving it and thanks to this forum (and Geppetto especially) for the advice of which reader to get (was thinking of a iRiver Story first).

I have a quite newbie question regarding usage. It might have been answered alot of times before, I apologise if that is the case. But what is the prefered usage of turning it on and off for optimal battery life?

Is letting it go to sleep mode better than turning it on and off? Is sleep mode better if say i'll use it again in an hour? Is even sleep mode better if i'm done using it for the day?

So far i've turned it on and off as it's the basic common way i'm used to electronics. Any advice or storys of how you use your Sony Reader would be helpful! Thanks.
