That is correct. NiLuJe's hacks come with an auto-reboot feature which will restart the Kindle shortly after it detects a USB device disconnect event. I don't know if the scripts need to perform any cleanup and/or housekeeping before rebooting but I've always used the auto-reboot feature just to be on the safe side.

Btw I wouldn't like if the screen was completely blank in off. Couldn't an "off" screen be defined somewhere? Isn't there something on the screen when it comes shipped? Or do they distribute it in the sleep mode?
It's been a while since I got my K3 so I can't be sure but I am not aware of any way to have a screensaver when the Kindle is truly off. With wireless off, the Kindle uses so little power that I never took the time to really look into it though. We just keep ours on standby when we're not using them.
