I had never thought of this when using my K1, but last night I added a couple of PDF instructional art books and it would take me more than 10 minutes to complete a drawing -- and I don't want to keep waking it up. So I have to agree that this is a problem.

For Jon,
As to the Kindle slideshow -- it really isn't a slideshow. After 10 minutes one of the "screensaver" images is displayed and that image remains in place until the user wakes it up, so that one image will remain on the screen for a week or more if you don't use your Kindle. A different image will only be displayed if you wake the Kindle up and then later let it go back into sleep mode. None of this helps save the battery, but displaying a single image probably doesn't hurt things much either (other than being annoying if you are displaying a textbook, cookbook, art book, or presentation page).
