I think there should be a way to prevent Kindle from sleeping. I can think of at least two use cases:
1) you want Kindle to download anything that is sent to it immediately, instead of when it wakes up (let's assume it has external power so there's no battery drain, and you are not around to keep it awake)
2) you have some sort of chart or table or list of phone numbers you need to reference intermittently as you are working nearby (but not reading).
In both cases, the fact that Kindle sleeps (and turns off wireless) if it is not prodded introduces a level of inconvenience (you have to physically wake it up).
I don't see any reason it should go to sleep if it has external power. Privacy, I suppose? Maybe, but at least there should be a mode you can toggle so it never sleeps.
