The only time this is an issue for me is in the kitchen. I preparation to eating I'll set my Kindle down on it's stand with the case open and prepare my dinner. Sometimes I get involved with something and the Kindle goes to screen saver. So, I close the case, open the case, and read. For me that's easier than finding the hidden button on the bottom. Why they don't make the button a different color from the device is beyond me.

I always leave the light on as well and find it's really a minimal drain. On the Kobo readers you have 2 different settings: 1 for the timer when the front light will go off, and another for when the reader entirely goes to sleep. That's really the best system.
And for myself, I would hate a different colored power switch that would stick out like a sore thumb. The Kobo Aura I believe has a red power switch and it's one of the reasons I don't like it. You can easily feel the button to use it.
