Home screen top left corner touch 3 line icon. On pop up box select settings. Settings screen select Sleep and power. Now on power setting select Automatically power off after, Never. Problem solved but now you reader might have a little shorter battery life because it will never power off. If your reader was powering off after 5 minutes your battery life might now be longer. Reader uses max power coming out of power off but uses almost no power while off. In Sleep mode it uses a little power retaining stuff in RAM and a little more power coming out of sleep. I will guess little more power than it takes to turn a page. Sleep just prevents accidental page turns during sleep.

Disable Auto WIFI connect also saves battery life but prevents auto download of news papers.
