Sure - Simple.
When the Kindle is sleeping, the CPU is halted, and anything software will not respond.
I.E: Like the command line shell.
And - the CPU may (can) go to sleep while you are reading a page of a book.
It is a meta-static display - it needs neither cpu nor power to continue to display the page.
A better solution -
Use dos1's event hooks to capture "going to screensaver" event and use that to start your weather display.
Similarly, capture the "coming out of screensaver" event to stop the weather display.
