The (Linux-using) Sony Reader is a good arguement that it can be done, CommanderROR, or at least pretty close. It goes from "off" (a PDA like suspend state) to "back where you were" in ~4 seconds.
We won't have final word on the power management 'till folks have had them long enough to tell that, but the battery meter
didn't budge after about 5 hours of pretty hard usage. I gather that 5 hours of
non-usage puts the iLiad down to about 38% charge? Clearly it isn't the OS that's the problem there.
