I know. The Cybook is empty within 4 days when left on (donīt know when exactly, nor if my battery was full), but if you just put it aside or drop it when falling asleep, you wonīt drain the battery (completly).
Besides, does it really need a start time like that? Obviously, one usually spends more time on a book, so them few seconds really should not matter.

It is the second law of free market economy - the cost-benefit equation.
