Nah. At least not in my experience. If that were the case, then
every light press would fail. But what I observe is that either:
- the first light press fails, and then the second light press works
- a "heavy"/long press works, and then a light press works
So that, to me, lends more credence to the "wake-up" theory, because the light press seems to work fine once the device is awake.
I once spent some time with a stopwatch trying to figure out exactly how long it would take between turning the page and the device going into standby mode such that the next button press would fail. I could never get a fully consistent pattern--it seemed to be somewhere between 40 seconds and 1 minute, but even that wasn't totally consistent.
The only conclusion I came to was that the amount of time until standby mode was however long it took me to read a page.
