Look for the line with "AutoOffMinutes" and change the value. This is a time in minutes. I don't know what the maximum value is, but I have true 120 minutes and it worked. I am pretty sure others have reported using longer times.
So using NotePad++ I changed the value on my Aura HD to 10 minutes, then I set the Kobo eReader.conf file "AutoOffMinutes" to 1440 (24 hours), saved the file, and now I still see the same default options (5-10-15-30-45-60-Never). Did I miss a step somewhere?
