It's about as fast as using the refresh button before.

The cover puts the screen into, then out of, sleep mode. However, as this has a fairly dense graphic, and overwrites rather than refreshes, it just makes matters worse.
Last night I got a further response back from Onyx. Based solely on the above pic, they'd jumped to the erroneous conclusion that the screen was damaged. Luckily, I found that my eReader had become responsive again in the interim, and I could provide pictures providing evidence to the contrary.
They show respectively, the screen (i) in sleep mode, (ii) just out of sleep mode & (iii) when first started up. I also was able to present them with a (rather hurried and thus blurred) pic of the initial "BOOX READER" screen showing at full contrast (meaning that neither the screen, nor the most basic OS is damaged).
