I just switch it on as I pick it up. By the time I've settled myself down in my chair to read it's ready.

I am not familiar with it, and if it doesn't use OnyxSDK I don't think it would be able to enter fullscreen mode. Regular applications can't go into true fullscreen(removing that big black bar on the top). When I'm reading I want to see only 3 things. The text of the book, occasional illustrations and annotations. If I see that bar I constantly check what time it is etc. It's distracting.
@Harry: the feature of automatic shutdown after set time. I was very surprised to find it on my device after I hacked it to use Onyx firmware. Especially since it's turned on by default. You see, your mileage will vary depending on how and where you read. I tend to read when commuting to work. I don't want another thing to worry about when I'm getting ready to work like turning the device on while I close the door. Also I often read spontaneously, just picking up the reader and reading where I left off. Especially in this situation additional time for boot would be very frustrating. |

It's also on my Lynx, but I don't use it. For me, it's not worth it. I bought the sleep cover so that I could open the cover and start reading--most of the time if I have time to read during the day it's only 5 minutes here or there, and if I had to turn the reader on and wait for it to boot up every time I wouldn't even bother.

I just can't understand how things that were introduced in much earlier Android versions and are working properly on thousands of various device cannot work on this one.
I fully charged it yesterday and then put in standby. With the wifi on, true. Today it's depleted. My phone, my tablet, how can they cope with this situation and don't deplete and this reader that has nothing pretty much to do while in standby can't ?! |

The same as my phone and tablet (Android as well) can turn the wifi radio off when it's not actually used, the T68 could do the same. And since they run pretty much same Android version it should just work. This IS a software issue, btw. Easily addressable with an update. |

That sort of is my point HarryT. They manage to keep the wifi on from our perspective (see below), use it and still not waste battery.
(I still believe that wifi radio is turned off when OS deems it appropiate. You just don't see it. It's not like wifi setting is turned off but the radio. It's true that push notifications work, but you don't know the latency of that or how many retries the server does until it gives up. Obviously for usage generating from inside the device, the OS will know to turn the radio on). |

The T68/Lynx does turn off Wifi when asleep (at least it was the case before the latest couple of updates - I haven't tested it in a while). It's easily tested by continuously pinging your device and then, without stopping, putting it to sleep mode. You'll see that the pings suddenly stop working. And yes most modern Android devices do not turn off Wifi while asleep, but all the Onyx Android devices that I've had do.
