Context, my friend.
Why was the SSH thing brought up? Because it was used as an example for why this person thought that kncl's statement did not fully make sense to him/her.
If a kindle is sleeping between two page turns, then it should not be possible to ssh into the kindle when you are reading a book, unless you try to ssh at the same time as you turn a page or the clock changes the time.
If you can use ssh anytime while a book is open on the kindle, then it's not asleep, it is only idle.
Why do these things matter? To try to figure out whether his web app would *theoretically* use similar amount of battery to typical reading, or whether it would kill the battery by keeping the device awake when normal reading sends the device to sleep.
Sleep mode and idle mode have a difference in power consumption. kncl said this himself / herself, but I have not seen any good argument showing that the kindle does go to sleep between page turns instead of just sitting idle. What I did see was an explanation that turning the screen off does not ensure that the device has immediately gone to sleep.
Not that it matters to me whether anyone can provide insight into whether the device goes to sleep or stays idle while a book page is being displayed. I have no nothing to gain by acquiring such a knowledge.
