That is a great idea. I tried with many (and many) layers of aluminum foil but I think the magnet is probably too strong and the hack did not work. I did find a use for the sleep mode with the front cover at the back. I can clean my ereader without worry about any accidental touch command being sensed and acted upon. No need to power off the device. I have a bad habit of reading and eating at the same time.

Thanks for the suggestion.
