Second timing test.

I took out my stopwatch and concentrated on getting the exact time. It took 60 seconds to boot up from a Full Shut Down and 26 seconds to shut down again.

When I was just shutting it off in Standby, my battery went from 4 bars to 1 bar in 16 to 18 days. Using Full Shutdown I am now on day 16 of this cycle and am still at 4 bars.

In my opinion, one should only use the Standby Shut Down when reading and turning off constantly during the day. If one is going to go a few days without turning on the Reader, one should use Full Shut Down. 60 seconds to boot up is not material for me. It would take longer than that to find a book in a library, open it and turn to the page where one left a manual bookmark. It takes longer than that to boot up my PC or to open eBook Library or MS Reader and find a page in a book where one left off.
