Anyone know if hitting the power button does more than blank the screen and disable some buttons? That is, does it save any energy?

For the Sony Reader, I know it does not save any battery charge.
For Amazon's Kindle, it would appear to (since wireless and other charge-sucking capabilities are turned off).

Anyone know if the EZ Reader / Hanlin is like Sony or Amazon?
