Is that not how one is supposed to use it? Should I say - never go off? (I do not switch the unit by hand off - it goes off due to the energy saving setting)
Still: why did the unit did not go to sleep/off or off after switching it on last night?

From what @DevonHess says, there is an actual problem. It sounds like if the cover is closed and never opened when the Forma is turned on, it doesn't trigger the sleep modes properly. And the device stays on rather than going to sleep when the timer expires. And I have just tried it with my Libra H2O and it isn't going to sleep when I power on with the cover closed. It looks like a bug. I have haven't noticed this before as I rarely turn my devices off. And on the occasions I do, I normally open the cover before turning it on.
The response from @JSWolf was in his usual manner: Ignoring the actual problem and ordering you to do what he thinks is the only way to do something.
His, badly expressed, point was: Why turn the device off at all? While the default configuration is something like you show above, for most users, it isn't the best configuration. If you are reading even just once a day, it probably isn't saving any power. And means the device isn't ready for you when you want to use it. The suggestion is usually to set the power off timer to never. That way it will sleep after a few minutes when you put it down, but, it will wake quickly when you want to read again. And the book you were reading will be opened.
