Could I live with a reader that doesn't have an auto/sleep function? Sure. If the KA1 *didn't* have one, there wouldn't be a problem. I'd just use the button on the back, and I would have known it didn't have a sleep function at the time I bought it.
However, it *does* have one, just like my old Kindle, where it has worked very well for years. I refuse to disable a function which I know can work reliably if executed properly.
It's a matter of principle.

Remember the last line in
Some like it hot - Nobody is perfect? NO reader is perfect for me, so I have to choose the one (kobo One presently) which answers my needs best. Luckily for me, I have no principles to add to my wish list...
If I had, my own peeves wouldn't be the sleep function (I decided early on that it was too risky), but the unresponsive and slightly blurring capacitive layer (the Glo HD is perfect there), and next in line the collections navigation: I have some 2700 items on the One, and a very necessary 60 collections, some with hundreds of items; navigating them is VERY PAINFUL.
And my dream reader would have
* my old Sony PRS-T1 and T2' PDF handling
* good dictionaries, accessible from a book and from the home page.
