Yeah, although they pretend to. There's an option to "off" the screen so it's blank and it stays blank while the battery dies completely. Then when you plug it in (after 2-3 months of never use) the blank screen is replaced with the Battery-Exclamation-Mark screen. 15 minutes later it boots...

I prefer the way Kobo does things, even though I really want a different setting for their power off timer. Power off after 2-3 days and it would be useful. Power off within hours is not useful, so the only valid setting is "Never" and then remember to do it manually.
