I wouldn't go as far as "HATE. IT.", but it's the worst button on any of my Kobo ereaders.

3. Decline using a book cover for sleep/power off, and it becomes a bit of a challenge to determine what state you're in in the dark (...in bed) after deciding you really should get some sleep. Hold down that button (for just the right amount of time, which takes some trial and error) - that button which I hate - and you still have to look out for a discrete little "Powered Off" message in the lower left corner of the screen. Well, um, you already shut the light off, Kobo, and your "Powered off" is light grey on a black background. With no light in the room or from the device.

The light is turned off as almost the last step in the powering off. If the light turns off, then the device is off. Or it could be sleeping. Is your problem that you think you might have put it to sleep instead of off? Personally, I never turn my ereaders off. They go to sleep with the cover, or automatically. The sleep uses so little power, it isn't a worry.
Actually, looking at the sleep and powered off screen, they are different. Sleep is "Sleeping" in black type on a white screen. Of is "Powered off" in white on a black screen. I wouldn't need much light to tell those apart, so maybe I don't understand the problem.
