Precisely - that's exactly my point. The "hold the power switch in for 7 seconds until the screen goes blank" operation puts the Kindle to sleep; it's NOT powered off. Press the power switch again and the Kindle wakes up again immediately; it doesn't go through the "boy sitting under a tree" boot sequence.
That's why I made the statement (which I believe is absolutely correct) that there's no way to power off a Kindle. You can put it to sleep, or you can reboot it, but you
can't shut it down.
