I just tested this with my Paperwhite and a stopwatch. If I hold the button for 7 seconds, the screen blanks, and it appears to be off. If I then press the button again, it wakes right up and takes me back into my book at the same place it was when I hit the button. If I hold the button for 7 seconds and then close the sleepcover, when I re-open the sleep cover it acts the same as if it had been sleeping.
If I wait, and hold the button for 20 seconds, it reboots as soon as I take my finger off of the button.
