It's been stated by iRex that the iLiad's hardware isn't capable of being suspended. I.e. the CPU simply doesn't have a power state that halts it completely and can only be downclocked (which is what it does now, to a degree).

A few people suggested some hibernate-like schemes, but i doubt we'll ever see that either.

Regarding OP, i don't see how either LBook V3 (as described) or Jinke compete with iLiad - they have completely different target audiences and are intended for completely different tasks (i.e. book reading vs. general document reading + annotating). Also, except for the folder support, i don't see how LBook V3 is any different than Sony's Reader (again, as described in the post).
