You can also set KOReader to ignore the magnetic switch. (Just add this line: ["ignore_power_sleepcover"] = true, {including the comma at the end} to /.adds/koreader/settings.reader.lua

I am sorry if my message was unclear. What I meant is that (now my friend's kobo - previously also in mine but no longer somehow) whenever he reads pdf in koreader and puts on the magnetic cover. It goes to sleep. It is all right. The problem is when he opens the cover, the screen doesn't wake up and even pressing the power button once (click) doesn't work. He has to press for 4-5 sec and force restart as koreader makes unresponsive.
