Dang, forced sleep and forced shutdown. Not really the best.

I mean lets say I'm reading and the phone rings. So I start talking and 45 min later I want to start reading again. Now I have to do the start up process and probably use a lot more power then if it had just stayed on. The start up process its self has 4 or 5 screen changes alone.

I wonder how long you would have to wait before you've saved power to equal the additional power used during boot. I was always turning my Kobo off so its not an issue for me, but I was hoping that I would just be able to use sleep mode instead. Instant on would be really nice.
