Disable Auto-Sleep PW1

I have a Paperwhite 1 that I have an experimental browser app running on. The darn things go to sleep after 10 minutes. Any tips on how to turn off the auto-sleep function?

Thanks

Using KUAL with the helper extension, you get a handy button to disable the screensaver.

It just launches a script ssprevent.sh which reads:
Code:
lipc-set-prop -i com.lab126.powerd preventScreensaver 1
To toggle it back on, pass it the value "0" again.

typing ~ds in search bar should disable screensaver, though read notes about it: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind..._Bar_Shortcuts
