The Sony 505 lasts for weeks in stand-by mode. I don't see why this one shouldn't be able to do the same. The two things that attract me to e-ink readers are that the screen is so very good and the battery lasts for a really long time. I wish that was true for the PocketPro.  |
All of the ebook readers have something going on in the background when in standby mode. This is due to the need to respond to the power button press. It has to be recognized by the OS in order to start up again. However, there are techniques to minimize the power drain such as slowing down the processor, placing it in sleep mode waking up from time to time to check the power, etc. Jinke knows how to do this as the 6" device works fine.
