Does it matter, though? Just keep a USB charger in the car. Many modern cars have a USB power socket, and those that don’t can do USB charging from the cigarette lighter socket.

Yep. The question is how long does it take to go from dead to usable for an hour or so.
I didn't know that the kindles wouldn't power down, still I should be able to remember to pull it out, charge it, sync any new books then put it back in the car. It's just a case of getting into the habit of doing it at a given time each week. I'm pretty sure it will last a week in stand by without too much battery drainage, especially if I leave it in airplane mode.
