I think it should increase the battery-life but...why?
What's the difference between using it and leaving the e-book reader turned on on a "normal" page?
thanks for your replies  |
Stand-by locks the keys. If I take my Mini as example: it has two paging buttons on the right side, a thumbwheel on the left, 10 number buttons on the bottom and a large "Menu/OK" button.
If I don't lock my device, before putting it in my bag, I won't be sure that I'll be able to continue my story from where I left it. I might have left the book or I might have moved to a completely different part of that book.
Often, it's not called a "stand-by", but rather a keyboard-lock...
