Polling IR beam interruption is only a small part of the energy equation. For a full page turn you'd also need to factor in the power needed to perform a screen refresh (where the screen is recomposed each turn and fully wiped every n turns), plus memory/disk access. Of course this part doesn't occur in sleep mode.
