I note that some people including myself have complained about the slow boot time of the Edge. I timed it and it takes 70 seconds not exactly a long time but I suppose we grow impatient in this instant gratification world. A simple solution that I now employ is to switch my Edge on several minutes before I am actually going to use it. Most of us know when we are going to settle down to some reading or studying and it is just a mind set adjustment to hit the button in advance so that when you are ready the unit is already booted and waiting to go.
