I successfully used Kubrick to wipe everything it could, but this behavior continues with the power button. Everything else works great, so I'd hate to scuttle this for parts.

When you say "the power button won't power the device down", that doesn't sound like you are referring to the screensaver mode.
The Kindle cannot be powered off, it never has. What you are seeing is perfectly normal.
You
can cheat by running the `poweroff` command from a shell prompt. But that functionality is deliberately not included anywhere in the UI.
Your normal, expected options are limited to "screensaver" and "reboot cycle".
