Then the wireless switches off too. I am going to search to see if I can find any fixes for this, if not I'll post the questions!!!
The wireless powers down when you haven't used it for a while. I find if takes just a few seconds to power the wireless back up once you make a request that utilises it. The trick for me is not to keep hitting "retry", but to wait 5 seconds or so before hitting retry.

If you leave it open to an e-book it will not power off during hibernation. This is actually a bug and is slated to be fixed in the next update, but might help you in the meanwhile.
