I'm not sure I see an advantage to this though since you would still have to wait through the entire boot process when you want to read again.

Clicking reset to freeze the last page view was suggested as an option if you wanted to display a picture on your Cybook when you weren't reading. Bookeen even sells frames for this purpose on their website.
Actually, no. the Cybook doesn't have an 'instant-on' state which puts you right where you left off. And why, oh why, are you 'bookmarking' your current page? I just exit the book and turn off the Cybook. Works like a charm.

Of course, one must always turn ON the Cybook, then wait whilst whistling the theme from "Jeopardy" until the Cybook finishes booting (and this lengthens as one adds ebooks to the SD card or main memory), and then actually ENTER the ebook in question. Hardly the same as a Sony.

And let us NOT get started on the maddening delays in seeing better functionality for the Mobipocket-version firmware. Okay, LET'S go there!
