Thanks for the reply. I was using the sleep mode, but it doesn't work as well for me - I only read for 1-2 hours a day at specific times, and powering off saves a LOT of battery compared to just sleeping. The time between recharges went from several weeks to several months - it's a massive difference.

The problem with powering off and on is that it takes Era like 5 seconds to switch on (very fast), but it also takes me holding down that damn button for another 5 seconds (very slow), which essentially doubles the time that the reader takes to switch on, for no good reason.
