Now, THAT, is exactly what I'm talking about. Good to know...thanks James.

But I'm also thinking of the Vox's performance when I say I want to strip it down to a bare-bones reader.

I'm not real familiar with how Tablets/Smartphones manage their resources but if I was to uninstall/delete all but a small handful of functions would it free up any memory...or promote snappier performance or longer battery life?
I guess I'm thinking in relation to a PC, which often has numerous "widgets" that are activated at "start-up" and run invisibly in the background...but do take up RAM and slow things down a bit.

Obviously, with battery life the big thing is to keep the Wi-Fi off, and I'd likely not need the highest brightness setting for the screen.

How long does the start-up take from being "off" rather than "sleeping"?
