They are not.
e-ink is meta-stable, shut it down completely and it will show what was last written until written again (even years later).
I.E: They do not need to be refreshed.
What Amazon calls a "screen saver" is a static image that can be shown while the device 'sleeps'.
Mostly, a Kindle 'sleeps', that is how they get the advertised long battery run times - because mostly it isn't running. 
Don't you love substituting marketing lingo for technical description?  |
Finally, someone that says what it really is. I've been saying it's not a screen saver for some time and others were disagreeing. Well done!
