Thanks for that, ktkat1949.

I wonder whether it's something to do with the size of the Aura, and maybe the housing isn't firm enough to prevent some flexure, which in turn affects the system.

I notice that often, when I pick up my HD solely by grasping the right side of the frame, the reader will wake from sleep, or put itself into sleep, without my touching the slider at the top. It also sometimes turns pages when I do that, and I assumed at first my hand must in some way be triggering the IR sensor, but now I'm not so sure.
