Power saver is a feature on the Paperwhite 4 that, when the thing is asleep for about an hour, puts it into a deeper sleep, saving battery life. The down side of this is that when you wake it up from that deeper sleep it puts a Waking Up sign at the bottom of the screen and there's about a 10 second to 20 second delay. I haven't actually timed it.

I don't care for that delay. When I open the cover I want to read. But so far I've left the power saver on. I probably will turn it off at some point and see if it makes a noticeable difference but if it does I'll probably turn it back on. It's only a minor irritation and I want the device and it's battery to last as long as possible.

There's a setting in the settings screen to disable the power saver. It's found under Device Options and then under Advanced Options.
