How do I get KOreader to auto turn off my eReader after a while?

AudreyMedia · 03-09-2024, 02:51 PM

I just opened my ereader and discovered it was in sleep draining battery overnight. On the default kobo software I have it set to turn off the system if in sleep mode for 40 minutes or so. Where do I go to set this in KOreader?

Update: I figured it out: Device->Autoshutdown Timeout. The default is 3 days apparently, Can't go under a day for some reason

You don't want your Kobo to shut off as you have to turn it on. That takes more battery then waking from sleep.

Oh huh, I didn't know that

If you know you won't be using your Kobo for some time, you can manually shut it down.

I don't know if it takes more energy, but in any case sleep uses very little energy while starting up uses a lot of energy for about as long as it takes before you can do anything.
