There's some speculation there are other benefits to invoking deepest suspend, by command of the slider switch. I was myself under the impression this method conveyed significant battery-charge preservation. Now I'm not so convinced that is the case.
I'm eager for this kind of information. The existence of a deep suspend mode implies that there are circumstances under which it's more beneficial to use it than the quick sleep mode. At least, somebody on Kindle's design team thought so. Why? When? And while we're at it, what's the ultimate answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?
