I would like to thank the author for the excellent software --- now I don't need to boot into nickel at all!

However, as an "icing on the cake" it would be very useful if StartMenu could also sleep properly. Granted, it shuts down and boots up so quickly that it makes sleep (suspend) almost superfluous, but... "almost" is the keyword here.

No, I am not blind and I can see "sleep" option on the menu, of course. But it appears useless as if I press it and then close magnetic cover then it wakes up instead of continuing to sleep. Also, if I do NOT press it and just close the cover then it remains awake instead of going to sleep.

So, at present, the only way to pause using StartMenu is to enter either Koreader or CoolReader and then close magnetic cover. These two programs seem to do suspend on closing and wake up on opening the cover correctly.

Now, the author might ask: how do you know that it doesn't sleep with the cover on, since you can't see or touch the screen while it is closed? Well, it is easy to ascertain by opening the cover very quickly while looking at the appropriate side of the screen (the one where the "sleep" button is located). If the device was asleep then there would be dark ribbon (sign of "button depressed") over the "sleep" option, disappearing after half a second or so. Just like the screensaver picture in CoolReader/Koreader disappears but leaving the user enough time to see that the device was actually sleeping.

Now, if I am wrong (secretly, I really hope I am and the author will tell me this) and the device DOES actually sleep when the cover is on, then the program MUST not be so quick as to make it impossible to discern that it was asleep, i.e. it should introduce a slight (say, half a second) delay before getting rid of the black ribbon over "sleep" option, to simulate the slow disappearance of a fullscreen screensaver picture.
