If you watch them they're
very careful how they say that. The line goes: "The display doesn't use any power except when it's changing pages" or something very close to that.
That being said, most people tend to
hear that the device uses no power except during page changes, but they're only responsible for what they say, not what we hear.
However, the processor
does spin down between page changes, so it
does use less power when it's just sitting ("on" or "asleep") than it does when changing pages or processing content.
