I know where it is - Under home for KSM, choose Configure, then [general]

The settings are in there:
frontlightOnLevel=4
KsmAutoselectafter=20
ksmAutoselectoption=start_nickel
preventfreeze=true
additem
return

I'm a bit concerned as I had specifically set preventfreeze=false via KSM and it has reset itself to true for no reason I can fathom.

At any rate, I don't know what values might be used to totally disable this check for Autoselect. I assume it is using power and resources for the timer at the very least, and I don't want it starting up nickel on its own, EVER.

I have reset preventfreeze to false, checked and it is still there right now. If it toggles itself again I'll report back on that.

There is also under the Configure options an entry for KoReader - but it is empty. What is that for?

It is most handy to be able to "sleep" the device from the reading program, and both Koreader and Coolreader have sleep functions. KSM has a neat Poweroff, with the ability to have your own html page displayed while the device is shut down.
Curently KoReader is not sleeping EVER. It has been on all night at this point. I left it in the reader to see what it might do because I noticed it wasn't sleeping.

Under the factory software settings, I had it set to sleep after 5 minutes and power off after 15. I can't seem to figure out how to do that now. I thought perhaps KSM would take precedence but clearly when KoReader is running, KSM has no power over poweroff, LOL!

As far as KSM's sleep feature - I don't want it to display ANYTHING. I want it to go into the least power-using state possible. I don't know if that is the dark screen or the light screen, but that is all that needs to be displayed. With perhaps text that says "sleeping", but no need to have any text at all when it is powered down. It should just be powered down in whichever state- dark or light screen - uses the least, preferably no, power.

How do I change the sleep screen display? And can KSM autopoweroff after a set time and display nothing at all, dark or light screen, whichever used less power?

I'll look at the 2 URLs you have posted. I did post a query on another thread that looked likely for KoReader, I'll check back over there. I hadn't asked about sleeping as I hadn't realized yet that KoReader was never ever sleeping yet.

Thanks for the help.
