Leaving it on is something I am going to test. I guess I've been conditioned to suspend devices to stretch out the power for when I'm ready to pick it back it up again.

Just saw Sameer's note. That's great to hear. But any particular reason why the device will require a reboot after 30 minutes of inactivity? Given the long reboot time of 35 seconds (never mind the book load), why not extend the timeframe to say a few days or a week?

Granted this is a data point of one, but if I haven't touched my eReader in a few days or a week, my frame of mind of waiting for a reboot might be ok. Not ideal, but it might not bug me.

But if I haven't touched it in say a few hours, the reboot would bug me, particularly if my frame of reference consists of other ereader devices which don't exhibit this sort of reboot requirement and load up pretty fast hours (or days or even weeks) later.
