Sneeked into hubbie's darkroom to try light, it's great & shouldn't disturb him at night!
A question, do peeps switch it off when not using for a few hours, or just leave it on. I see it goes into standby after an hour, but thought better to switch off to conserve battery?
Or maybe it uses more power to turn back on.
Off to play some more.

it is brilliant isn't it ?
glad you're having so much fun.
i usually do switch it off when i stop reading because it's actually just in sleep mode so it comes back on instantly. i've never done a full shut down of it which requires a longer startup afterwards. the sleep mode doesn't consume much power, so it doesn't seem to be much of a problem for battery life.
warriorscot, just a detail, you only need to use the sony software *if* you plan to shop at the sony store. however you can use calibre (or just the file explorer) to drag and drop regular lrf files onto the device. lrf is the sony proprietary format with no drm ; the sony store sells lrx, which is the sony proprietary format *with* drm.
