The screen burn in was with old computer monitors. Kindles and nooks use a image to indicate that the device is asleep (sleep screen). My Sony 505 just goes blank when it sleeps which looks the same as when it's off. The screensaver name is just a hold over. There is no burn in with e-ink screens but there is ghosting which can cleared with a refresh (alt+g on the Kindle).
