Basically, I have (had) the devices set to power off after 15 mins of inactivity regardless of whether the cover was open or closed. Just checked the Icarus - it’s set to go to sleep after 10 minutes and power off after another 20 minutes. This fits with my usage pattern; I may put the device down for a rest break so I’ll pick it up again within 30 minutes. Otherwise, I won’t pick it up again for several hours (either later that day after work or next day). So why bother to leave it sleeping? All I do on the device is read books so I don’t need notifications.

So waking from sleep on the Icarus drops me where I was, from power off, to the home screen with recently read on the screen - and I just select the book I want to go back to.
