No, of course not. The keyboard is inactive when the device is switched off.
As stated earlier, this is not "burn in", but "ghosting" - it's a completely different effect. Burn-in, on a cathode ray tube, is a consequence of displaying the same image for a long period of time. Ghosting on an eInk screen is simply a residual of the most recently-displayed page, and is inherent (to a greater or lesser degree) in all eInk screens.
