So normally when I am done reading, I put my Sony PRS-350 into sleep mode until I'm ready to pick it up again. Now I've only had it for a bit under a week, so this isn't a concern yet, but should I be worried about possible "screen burn"? Similar to what can happen on TVs when they display the same image for prolonged periods of time. They end up displaying a ghosted version of that image permanently. So would I be better off completely turning the reader off, or is it fine to keep it on Sleep mode?
