it's not the 30-40 seconds to have it on that bothers me... i don't think it's a lot of time..

it's the draining of the battery... we know that the off/on process drains a good amount of power... so I wanted them to come up with a sleeping mode that consumes less battery than if it was on and more than when it's off... but worth using for short periods, like 2... 3 hours....

what I'm saying is that they came up with something that i won't use... the 15 min sleeping mode...
If I'm stopping my reading session for a short period, i might as well just leave it on (and hope the buttons don't get pressed in my bag)... if I'm not gonna read for 1 day, I'll turn it off altogether...

So, it's the same as before... nothing's changed in that case...

EDIT: I just found out that if u leave the device on, with the book you're reading, it goes to sleeping mode, no matter what u do.... aaaaaaarrrrrrrrghhhh... i there any way to get back to firmware 1.0????
