I found a FAQ on the official forums about this when I was poking around a couple days ago, it is actually powered off.

I tried to turn my eReader off, but it’s still showing something on the screen. Is it off?

E-Ink technology allows the device to keep images on the screen without using any power. When you turn your eReader off, the device will display the cover of the last book you were reading, or a generic Kobo screen if you were not reading a book. Rest assured that this state is not draining your battery, and the device is definitely OFF.
