I think (I'm not saying I know, 'cause I don't -- I want to be clear on that) that the Reader doesn't boot after a reset until you exercise the power button.

I do know that on a reset, the screen keeps whatever is on it until you exercise the power slide. And I think that when you exercise the power button after a reset, it does the same little routine regardless of how much time has elapsed since the reset was clicked. Perhaps one of y'all who already routinely leave their Readers undisturbed for several days as part of their typical usage, might try reseting it (instead of just turning it off) when you know one of those lax periods is coming up. That might give us an idea.

I know I'm certainly not going to volunteer to leave my Reader alone for a month -- I get the DTs after a few hours!

I'm glad that it looks like your battery might be okay after all, DiabloNL, I can certainly see where it gave you the impression it did from what was going on.
