Just got my Kobo H20 and also the Kobo Sleepcover. But the Sleepcover doesn't seem to be doing anything - What settings should it be at for the Sleepcover to put the H20 to sleep on closing? I've played with a few settings at Settings - Sleep and Power....but i still can't see the Sleepcover putting the kobo to sleep when i close the cover.

**Update** i've spent a few more minutes now with my new Kobo - so closing and opening the sleepcover rapidly does nothing to the unit - it doesn't go to sleep immediately the cover is closed - would that be correct? My assumption is that the sleepcover would put the unit to sleep immediately.

When i open the sleepcover after a couple of minutes of having it closed - i can see briefly the bookcover of the book i was reading and then it goes to where i last read. That at least proves the sleepcover is doing something right - it's waking the unit up.

Still....my expectation is for the sleepcover to put the unit to sleep immediately - but i think because this is en e-ink reader - it's in fact not necessary for the unit to be put to sleep so quickly - perhaps rapid sleeping / waking waste more power (as i've read in other messages) - am i correct?
