Well, the main advantages and issues – but going back to my original questions I realized it depends a lot on expectations and usage, so... never mind, thank you

Well, that's quite a difficult experiment, because to check battery one has to turn on the screen every once in a while, and
that already consumes power that on an e-ink tablet is negligible. Still, I inadvertently did such an experiment when I switched from my penultimate phone to the one I have now: after migration I forgot it switched on with no network connection, no open app and the battery around 50%: it started beeping at 20% battery after a couple of weeks, maybe more. So you may say that modern android devices do not consume a lot of power, if not used...

Well, me too, actually – I'd perhaps have better phrased my question by saying "looking for a better poke3"

My experience had been with network connections off and the device used only for reading: the battery drop was noticeable from morning to afternoon (I read mainly on commute). I'll try again with my next device, but that's unlikely to be a poke3: poke4 and leaf2 are the most likely choices, at the moment.

See my patch in this forum to cut it back to the original 30 seconds.
I've never had a problem with my cover. It works reliably.
(Oh, yeah, I've patched the cover logic too.)

I can't find it – but I guess that's not so important, since I don't own a poke3 any longer
Is there something similar for poke4 or air2?...
