Oh yeah, it's just that disabling the screensaver in a Kindle disables the sleeping function in general, as I found out today.

Even closing the cover won't put it to sleep, and it ran itself dry!

So while it should have been sitting there sleeping with the cover on, it just kept running and maintaining the wifi connection, etc, which isn't great.
