Hopefully if he re-runs that test it'll be a little more clear what happened.
Strange thing is, the same did happen with my BeBook Neo about a week ago. About 3 or 4 days as well (and again, others have reported the very same for BeBook Neo and Onyx Boox).
That's why I'm asking myself, whether it may be something about the touchscreens.
WACOM tablets, as far as I know, usually have a sensor, which starts the tablet, as soon as the stylus is taken out of the unit or approaches the screen.
(In BeBook Neo I had the stylus inserted, so this can't be an explanation there.) Wasn't it with iLiad, where the manual stated "don't leave your stylus on the reader, because this permanently leaves the screen activated"?
The screens of BeBook Neo and iRex 800 don't react (when off or in standby) to the stylus, so it shouldn't be an issue. But still I ask myself, whether there might be something "on hold", because I don't have this with any other readers.
