* If the Reader remains inactive for two days, it will eventually turn off (shut down).

Note

If you store the Reader in a purse or bag while it is still turned on and not set to sleep mode, items may come in contact with the

screen, possibly resulting in pages being turned or other accidental operations. Set the Reader to sleep mode before putting it away.
