Hi everybody,

I recently got an iLiad and everything works fine.
However, I wonder why does the e-ink disappear when I switch it off? I thought e-ink doesn't need any energy to maintain its current state. Does that mean the screen is for some reason actively erased when I switch off ?

Many thanks,

Axel
