Only if you turn it off - which is not necessary as it uses so little power. Just keylock it instead.

and coupled with bookmarks not working if there are spaces in the folder names - yeah, not good

I need to learn more about using hyperlinks myself, but most books I read have none, so I haven't bothered yet.

Playing music in the background while you read.

I had some books with poor contrast, until I realised it was because they were ePubs that defaulted to a pale Times Roman font. By converting them to mobi format, and choosing IBOOKN font when reading, you get about twice the contrast or more. I suspect it's because of the change from 4 gray levels to 8 in the new reader.
- they really need to work hard on improving ePub !!

This is better in the later firmware, but a good decisive press, rather than a quick click, always seems to work for me.
