Doesn't change. You think it is still on, but you hold the power button again and the machine starts back up as if it was off. It only happens occasionally, but a very similar issue.

Because my screen just sits on the book or menu without changing, doesn't go all weird, and I do not lose any progress I just figure it as a problem (not serious) with the whole loading of the Powered Off screen during the shut down process. Yours sounds like it might be an actual problem and not a mere quirk/minor issue though because your Kobo is actually forgetting and going strange.
Yep, in the three months that I've had my wi-fi reader it had something similar to this fault once. I pressed the power and it did nothing. So I pressed and held it down again and the machine booted up as if it was off. My last sessions reading didn't set a new bookmark, so I was back to the page where I had started that night.

Only did it once though.
