@maddz: The only thing I can think of is to set the automatic poweroff when sleeping. That will mean you are turning the device on instead of waking it, but, when it starts, it will show the home screen. I don't think that is a very good way to do it, but, I can't think of another way. I sort of do it, but, by using two devices. I sort of read novels on one and short stories on another. It isn't as clear-cut as that, but, it means I pickup whichever device happens to have the book/story I want at the moment.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm after - on waking from sleep, to be presented with the home screen with the list of books in progress instead of the book I was last reading. I did wonder about going back to powering down after inactivity (I used to do that on older e-readers). I suppose I could resurrect my Touch, but I suspect I'd end up not reading at all on one device.
