Got my eDGe this week and I love it!

But, as expected, battery life and boot time are not impressive. It should be possible to use only the eBook side with everything else completely disabled and so achieve a battery life of several days.
A user wrote in another thread that the eBook side is driven by a separate operating system (Linux). That might be a misunderstanding, because Android itself is based on Linux.
But if it is true: Would it be feasible to implement an option to kill Android (shutdown) and keep only the eBook part alive for reading (devoid of any LCD-related functions, of course)?
Or maybe there could be two choices for booting:
1) Full mode
2) eBook reading only (no LCD screen, no WiFi)
It would be OK if one had to restart the device in order to return to "full mode".

Or, even if the entire device is controlled by Android: Could we not have a dual boot option with a massively stripped down Android that drives the eBook side only?
