And everything I've seen on the TL5 hasn't impressed me too much, especially the 8 LEDs instead of 9. I'm still looking at a Basic Lux 2 however, it has a front light but without touch screen.
Pocketbooks are one of the few devices that actually turn off after the configured "sleep" time. Mine is configured for 10 minutes of sleep or so before it turns off.
Same for Boox devices, you configure a stand-by timer and a turn off timer.

If the device turns off, then the battery isn't really drained by the device, only charging degradation the battery has naturally.
