On the reboot time. This is one of the pleasures I found when I switched from the Bookeen Cybook Gen III to the Kindle 2. The Cybook rescans the entire library every time it wakes up. When I had a large library it took about a minute every time I wanted to pick it up to read. The K2 takes just seconds.

You can leave the CyBook switched on if you wish. The battery will last 4-5 days if you do so, which isn't too disimilar to the Kindle's typical battery life.

That's only typical to a Kindle with the wireless left on (4 days). With the wireless left off, the Kindle battery can last up to 2 weeks (give or take a few days depending on how much you read per day).

Hell if I leave my wireless on I get 2 days max. But daffy is correct.
