Here is my question along with a (potential) comment.
Yesterday, I was playing with the device just to see what it would be like when the battery is completely drained.
Just when it was about to shut down, I did a reboot, watched it boot, and just a second after the main screen appeared, I pressed the reset button.
The device froze. It stopped responding to reset button at the bottom, anyting else. I waited to see it shut down, but it did not. After about 30 mins, I was quite curious. There was no way enough battery that'd last for 30 secs, and after one more press to reset, the red led on the top also turned down.
Until I found a laptop around about 5 mins later, the screen stayed exactly the same. I do not know anything about e-ink, other than it looks amazing
Does this mean that once you display an image on screen, you can completely cut the power, and it will stay as it is? If this is the case, a standby during page displays can really change the battery life story at a remarkable level. About 4-5 hours with full cpu usage can go up to 8-10 I guess. Of course all of this is pure speculation, without proper information, which I hope to get as responses to this message

Kind regards
