The # at the start of the line, in a .sh script file, makes the line a comment, not code to be executed.

It doesn't have to be 20seconds, just as I used 10seconds, in mine, you could use whatever you wanted (I would keep it to two digits, though).

In another thread a user found that he got much better battery life, if not using a magnetic/sleep cover.

There is no auto sleep in Koreader (at this time) If you didn't tap the power button on your H2O, Koreader would not be going into the suspend/sleep mode. If you do tap the power button, it should show the cover or a text message window. (This is assuming that the H2O function that way, as I do not have one.)

I cannot find anywhere inside KoReader to change or set how long it should sit idle before it sleeps, let alone how to make it autopower down, if it will even do that. So I'm rather at a loss. This bodes ill for battery life given that I routinely fall asleep while reading, during the day as well as at night. I really do need it to sleep after say 5 minutes of idle time.

See my last paragraph, you need to activate the sleep mode and return from it by a button, the H2O doesn't have a power slide button, like the others do, so it should be the power button that you do have.
With e-Ink, there is not much difference between power usage in sleep from the power usage (with the WiFi off) and a static page display.

Thanks for your help.
