On off button considered harmful
Something that bothers me is the little on/off button, with that little spring in it that makes a little noise when you use it. I am concerned that if this button fails, the entire machine is rendered basically useless.
It would be nice if some of the pressure could be taken off this button. This should not be hard to do. Already we do not have to use it to turn off or go to sleep mode, because we can do that in software via the tweak provided by Andreas Heider.
But I suspect it would also be possible (not for us, but for Kobo) to make it so that the (seemingly more robust) home button, if desired, could take the machine out of sleep mode. Perhaps with a long press to avoid accidents. It would make their machines last longer if this could be invoked if the on off button ever did fail.
Perhaps this button really is fine and I, and the others who have mentioned this, are concerned over nothing.
