MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-900 Is there a way to turn on PRS 900 without use of power button?

I finally figured it out. I just turn off Power Management in the Settings.

Then, before I leave my house I turn on the PRS 900 and leave it on until I return to my house. Then I move the page on the Desktop Reader up to the page in the PRS 900. Then I shut it down totally.

That way I can just unzip the Hard Case to read it and not need the Power button at all.

I tried leaving it on overnight and there was no movement in the Power bars. Thus, its power drain doing this is insignificant unless one is turning pages.

Normally I keep it in Shut Down mode when not is use since I do most of my reading on my PC.
