It doesn't matter. "screensaver" is now a generic term for this sort function. It hasn't been accurate in any place it is used for a long time, but, people know what it means.

And yes, a sleep cover is easier to use then the button.
Really? You find it harder to use the button on your Libra H2O to wake the device than a cover? I didn't know you had a Libra H2O as you haven't mentioned it. You should probably update your profile to show the purchase.

Of course, if you do not have a cover, it is a significantly easier to use the button than to use a cover. And some people don't use them as they don't like them. And honestly, on my Aura H2O (as that is the only Kobo ereader you list), yes, I think waking it with the button is easier that closing the cover and opening the cover again as I don't always close cover when I put my ereaders down. And I frequently push the button on my ereaders to see the cover and status and then push it again to wake it. I prefer to display the page numbers when reading and that is an easy way to see the percent read and time-to-read for kepubs. It might seem silly, but, it works for me. And I also lift the corner of the cover on the Libra H2O so I can see the info panel.

And even when I use a device cover, I do see the book cover when I open the device cover. I like being able to see the book covers.

Configuring these things might not be useful to you, but it is to other people. And experimenting with different options helps to know what can and can't be done, what is and isn't useful and what is best for an individual.

Jon: The real point here is that @mxbndr wants to know if they can customise a function. Sharing your experience is one thing, but, far to many of your posts are really telling people that as you don't don't do something, no-one else should do it either. Yes, that IS what you far to frequently do. And it is definitely what you did this time.
