Kindles recently got a boost in power efficiency and I wonder if they simply had the device constantly suspend itself. I would prefer the last page to always be shown (perhaps show an on-screen indicator if recovery from standby is less than instantaneous). There is something special about how e-ink can show a page without power and I would like to see that.

The kindle comes out from the box with a welcome page magically already displayed. I suspect irex doesn't do this.
When suspended, it goes blank. No welcome page on iRex 800.
