Actually, a Kobo does standby and after a delay goes to deep standby mode (as to the exact differences between them, that is a total pain since most vendors love burying that information). As far as I know, neither Kindle nor Kobo ereaders do a true hibernate where the system state is written to disk and the device then powered down. Under a Linux OS, that would require a swap partition large enough to hold RAM contents and other data that needs to be saved.
