It's nice to be proved right sometimes. Now, if I could only convince my wife of this...

I had set the auto sleep to 5 minutes, but found that a bit too quick so thought I'd set it to 10. Nope, as you surmised I'd set power off instead.
Seems to be fine now.
Question: why in world would this option even be there?

Because some people think it is a good idea. If someone is reading several times a day, it doesn't make sense to let it power off. But, if they only read for an hour before bed each night, letting it power off in between makes sense. It might make also make sense ff the power off options were a lot longer. Powering off after sleeping for 24 or 48 hours would be good to prevent the battery completely running out. You can change the settings in the config file to other numbers, but I don't remember if anyone has found a maximum that can be used.
