That really depends on the person. When you're not reading the device goes to sleep. When it goes to sleep it WILL alter the page so it doesn't really matter if you put a blank image, use the default authors or nature, or throw up your own set of images from a folder inside the screensavers folder. Then it does NOTHING.
It is neither useful nor useless, nor does it burn any power once it throws up the one image to indicate sleep and the touch IR is off, but it is nice to have the option.
I personally find it useful as the image I throw up is a bit of text I put in an image that has my contact info and library card number; the first in case I lose it and a samaritan finds it, and the second because I borrow ebooks from the public library and I don't want to carry yet another plastic card in my wallet.
