I said it waits to finish certain tasks before hibernating. I never said that screensaver mode was indicative of hibernation or standby mode.
I know what hibernation is. Where are you seeing that the Kindle is hibernating and storing state to flash? I don't see it saving the contents of RAM to flash at all or see anything that would do this in the firmware. The serial console doesn't mention it doing this either. It keeps everything in RAM during suspend and just keeps it powered to maintain the contents.
