It actually does 3 different things:
1. Press it briefly and it puts the Kindle to sleep (or wakes it up again).
2. Press and hold for about 7 seconds, and the Kindle goes to sleep with a blank screen (and also turns WiFi off, which normal sleep doesn't).
3. Press and hold for about 30s, and the Kindle reboots when you release the switch.
