But I don't think the sony will draw less battery when in "sleep" mode, or they make it differently than the Cybook. ie: it will drain more battery when "asleep" than the Cybook.

I doubt that even with "deep sleep" the Cybook could drain less battery thant in "standby" mode (like after turning a page, and waiting for a new key press) maybe they could do some magic boot to do let it wakeup faster, but I really think that if they didn't make a "sleep" mode like for the 505/700 it's due to hardware limitations. One of the component that have the most impact on sleep is memory. If bookeen haven't had choice on the memory modules they got for the Gen3 they could too much consumption for sleep mode...
