First of all take into account that the intended time for light use is nighttime or at least a dark setting. If you turn it off yourself you have most likely been temporarily distracted (by traffic, a phone call, friends or any of that pesky stuff from the "real" world. So when you turn it back on it means you've quickly shooed away such distractions quickly and gone back to what you SHOULD be doing: reading. And it's most likely still dark.

On the other hand if it goes to sleep from inactivity it's most likely because you yourself feel asleep and so when you turn it back on there's no need for a light since it is now day.

Or at least that's what I think they were thinking. Either way it doesn't bother me too much.
Interesting train of thought regarding the light. I use mine all the time, and know people who use the light on the Aura/Glo because it heightens the readability of the device in all light conditions. Now back to the question about the light turning on and off I usually attribute it to the fact that the light is on a timer, and the timer is held in suspension while in sleep mode but resumes on wake I could be wrong here but that's the reason I use to justify the behavior.

regards
