This question has been discussed before, but I could not browse any clear answer, so here I go again: if I never switch off my Sony PRS-900, but only put it into sleep mode, would it be bad for the device?

Switching if off and on again takes time, and waking it for the sleep mode is so quick and easy. Beside, I realized that the battery lasts very long (over two weeks) when I don't shut the reader down, but the moment when I switch it on (in case it had been switched off totally), the indication bar goes down immediately. I am only worried about the impact on the reader. Your comments will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Zorana
