Yup - This meta-stable display technology still catches a lot of people.

The: "It is displaying something - surely that means it is running" thoughts from the days of legacy active displays.

Since the Kindles will "wake on USB change" and the non-3G devices have an available internal USB host port - -

Perhaps some sort of hardware modification could use the page turn buttons to wake the system and perform an action might be possible.
I.E: Make the buttons generate a USB change.

Ah, too tricky for me, and I started out as a "hardware person".
