If it shuts off after 15 minutes and no way to change that, I'll agree that can be annoying in some circumstances.

My other readers I leave set to sleep after 60 minutes. Gives me plenty of time to handle interruptions and there's really no drain when the page is fixed.

I know this has nothing to do with the sleep cover, but the previous post brought it up and got my curiosity going about it.
As stated above, there is no setting. However, a jailbroken Kindle with the KUAL launcher will likely have the Helper extension (attached to the main KUAL thread), which adds an easy one-click menu button to disable screensaver mode.
