2) probably you stay on that page more than 4s and the device goes in sleep: the device informs you on the new state turning the blue light (led?) off above the "menu key"
3) you can read the page even one hour because the device is sleeping now while eink screen shows the page (no electricity needs)
4) after one minute (for example) you decide to turn the page pushing the button "V"
5) the device awakes, it turns the (led?) blue light on and then it turns the page.
If it's all true, you have no need to bother about pushing a special button or something else, just leave the device manage the power for you :-)
But I'll get my Jetbook Color only next wednesday. Then I'll try to solve this issue
P.s.: If you change the settings I don't know what it happens. I suggest you to contact the support for details

I assume that they mean "sleep after 4s" as: if you don't move anything, the eINK doesn't change, so doesn't take any power maintaining the eINK screen(as is how eINK tech actually works)
I think that the CPU/RAM is still running, and since this is WinCE 6.0, the power optimization might not be as good as the Kindle's custom linux/unix or Nook's Android power...
I'll see when I keep the device on with AUTO-TIMEOUT at some value
EDIT: Also, the Kindle has an auto-time out (if you turn it on, leave it alone, eventualy it'll go to screensaver mode...... why doesn't Amazon keep it "on" always if eINK doesn't take any power to run? cpu/ram taking more power on "on-standby" vs "off-standby" mode?
