Yes, but I think this was deliberately added when the Mini & Glo came out (those devices and the Touch share firmware code) so that if a sleep cover is accidentally disturbed (i.e. flipped up briefly) it doesn't have to wait the normal timeout period to go back into sleep mode.

I tend to use the smallest font size and occasionally have had my KT "pass out" in mid sentence before I get to the end of the page. As a work around after I turn it on via the switch I just bring up the menu and close it, doing so disables this quick off feature and the Reader will wait till normal specified sleep time before it goes into sleep mode.

Given that the Touch doesn't support sleep covers, as it lacks the hardware to detect if a cover is closed, it would seem logical just to clip out that part of the code (or disable it).
