It means the screen stays on the last read page, whatever it is. Home, or the page of a book.
So far, I didn't notice any other problems.
Is there a simple solution or should I forget about the problem and keep on reading my books, forgetting the access to the screensavers ?
Thank you in advance,

There is no real difference between sleep and awake, other than when asleep the buttons are disabled, and a screensaver image is displayed. When the kindle is sitting idle, it is drawing almost no power (even when awake). Most power consumption occurs while drawing to the eink display (or when the CPU is busy for long periods, such as when indexing books). When wireless is on, it draws more power, so you may want to disable that (or enable airplane mode), to conserve battery power.
Although not a serious problem, if you want to fix it, you should ask in the Dev Corner forum. Others have had this problem, and there are various ways that it has been solved. In the very worst case, you can restore a known good system image to it (documented in the Dev Corner "simple debricking" sticky thread). Members there would be glad to help you solve you problem.
Or you could just live with it, as it really just a minor annoyance (unless it really does discharge your battery too fast).
