If you remove the screen the image is still there with no power at all.

There's no reason you could not just use the last page you where viewing as a sceensaver. No reason. You would just have to remember to use the switch after a certain interval .
As I said before, on the K1 &2 it doesn't make any difference so no one has really whined about it, but the DX is different so your going to be hearing a lot of moaning until this is addressed at least.

I really can't emphasize enough how important this is for technical documents.
Amazon didn't think this though.

For those interested:

We could start a collection as a reward for the first person who can supply this hack.
I saw this done with a hack to run Windows on the new Intel macs. It drew a lot of attention and was successful (and was a lot of fun). (In a twist, Apple itself supplied the hack just a few days after it was finally done)

Mind you the Apple hack was a huge program. This isn't much of anything I would think, but i'm afraid it may not be done without incentive.
