I totally agree with you, waiting up to 45sec to start reading when you may only get 5 min to read before the toddler needs attention is tooooo long! I got around this on the Cybook by turning off the "Auto Power Off" option. I would then only have to boot-up my book once a day, preferably first thing in the day before I want to read.

I really like the 'suspend' mode as described for the BeBook. 4 weeks of battery time on standby seems great to me. Of course I'm always adding new books, mostly from the MobileRead collection, so my Cybook gets small charging sessions at least once a week and never really gets down to 0% anyway.
