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).

Why do people keep saying this? This is definitely not a feature, it is a bug. If it had been a feature, I'm sure they would've presented it as such, and given users the option to disable it or change the amount of time before auto sleep.
Also, I doubt the low probability of the lid accidentally opening and the relatively trivial ramifications of it (slight battery drain) actually call for such a feature.
