I find it quite irritating that, when the reader goes into standby, it switches to an image. Since it resumes almost instantly, it'd make more sense to leave the current page on.

What I'm wondering is: how much, if any, power does it eat when idle during normal reading, inbetween a page turn and the next, as opposed to standby?
I ask because I suspect there's no difference between standby and page-to-page idle (the time it takes to resume is about the same it takes to page-turn), and the suspend feature might just have been added for the benefit of the sort of people who don't get how e-ink works and worry that the reader is wasting power if they don't switch it off somehow.

If that's indeed the case, I could just set it to never go into "standby" and have it work as I'd like, with no battery life reduction whatsoever.

Anyone know if this theory is sound? I'd test it myself but I lack the tools to measure current in the super-low amount it draws when not running the display...
