Your Mini is in "sleep mode", not completely off when you see a cover picture. You have to press the off button longer and then confirm on the screen that you are shutting down for it to be truly off. Sleep mode does not use much power but is meant to be used when you are away for a short time and allows you to resume reading more quickly than starting up from the shutdown state. When the Mini is off, you will see a happy face icon with "powered off" on the screen. Eink does not use any power to keep the pic on the screen, changing pages, using wifi etc is what will wear down the battery.
