I installed some custom firmware from you guys about a month ago and noticed that my battery doesn't perform well when the device is on standby. It's like it's using battery power when the screen is off. My solution so far is to turn it off in the advanced settings page. It's quite annoying.

Anyone else have this problem? I'm not in the mood for sending the unit back, either. Maybe a shortcut to powering the device off? That would be super helpful.

Powering on and waiting for 5 minutes is annoying. When I forget to turn it off my battery is drained the next time I start reading.
