For the purposes of testing the new Touch power issue, I do a quick slide of the power switch to enter sleep mode and once the screen clearly displays "Sleep Mode" for a few seconds the case is closed. I deem this to be sufficient since printing the status out to the screen should be the last task the device performs before actually sleeping (where "sleeping" is generally accepted to be ACPI S3 or "Suspend to Ram" although of course we have no proof that is what Kobo are doing).
Otherwise you may remember from previous threads that I'm a believer in "off" saves more power than "sleep"? So when I finish reading I slide the power slider until the unit displays "power off" although I also have the "power off after..." option enabled to catch those occasions when I've temporarily slept the unit intending to come back and something interrupts my plans.
