There have been some comments about the fact that the official Sage sleepcover literally COVERS the power button. Today, I discovered why that can be problematic, and a fix:

(I read almost exclusively in KOReader, so I don't know if this would happen in the stock Kobo reader)

After a busy couple of days in which I've had no time to use my Sage at all, I picked it up, opened the sleep cover and found that it had powered off. It did not take long to realize that my impaired motor skills and fingernail-free hands were never going to get the Sage OUT of the cover to turn it on, so I thought "would connecting it to the PC work?" Happily, it did. Hopefully this might be useful to anyone who finds themself in a similar predicament.
