The software option is mentioned, albeit briefly, on page 89 of the User Guide > Chapter 2 > Changing Settings > Device Shutdown.
BTW - There's a typo on page 97 (charg instead of charge).
As to wishes I find that a PDF book can be shown perfectly albeit often in very small print and the attempt to resize to M leads to distortions which make reading difficult especially if any pictures, graphics etc are involved.
I have tried landscape but then the page break does not happen on the same line i.e. page is not broken in half and I need to search for the end of the previous screen side.
Unfortunately most academic or non-fiction texts are in pdf and as yet I have not found a tool which converts cleanly to epub; I am using Calibre at present.
That said all the other formats (epub, txt, rtf, BBeB etc) work very well and in all I am very pleased with it. I have read more books in the past week then in the whole month before.
