It's more ambiguous for an unregistered Kindle but it seems reasonable that it would default the same as well.
I agree with all that, but I have vague memories of ilovejedd posting in some other thread that she did not like the power save mode and had disabled it. Of course there is no telling which of her vast fleet of PW4s that applied to. I am not disputing how close to power off deep sleep is, just looking for unambiguous test results.

I'm actually most interested in how close to power off battery usage the Oasis 2 is in deep sleep. Maybe Sirtel would be willing to do the test since she doesn't use hers much.
