Jordan - thanks a ton on the feedback. Glad to hear the next update will return the off-mode book covers. My 6 year old daughter (in particular) loves that feature, and it's a favorite of mine as well.
I'm with the bulk of the commenters here in that the main resistance to the non-configurable off-mode is that it takes a while to boot up, and you still don't end up where you previously were.
I'm okay with the forced off-mode if you can either improve the boot speed, or boot us back to where we were when the device went to sleep. If not, I'd prefer the previously mentioned manual sleep that stays in sleep mode.
On a slightly different tangent, you've mentioned that Kobo has configured the sleep/off behavior to minimize battery drain. Any chance you could post battery drain numbers in each state? I think having the data will let us on MobileRead understand the situation better.
Thanks!
