I think it is more than 25s with the latest firmware (802) but I cannot measure now since I am testing the battery. Down to 70% after 2 days and 19 hours so I guess from previous observation that I will get 3-4 days.

I really cannot see how you can say that 40s boot time it so long that you changed your device but that 25s is not noticeable.

The book I always carry with me is for reading whenever an opportunity appear. Then you cannot wait 25s to read a couple of minutes. It is silly and irritating.
