In that case, a hibernate would need to read the memory size plus additional status information so ~512MB which would be on the slow side.

I think your Waking Up message is what I refered to as "Please Wait". It's been a few years since I looked at one of my Kindles. You are correct that the Kindle power up is suspiciously fast, but keep in mind, that 500MB/s can litterally take 2 seconds on even moderately fast flash. But I never investigated what, exactly the Kindle was doing. What I do remember is being impressed at how long the Kindle could sleep for compared to the Kobo. I also noted the 2 stages of sleep; the first can wake up instantly, the 2nd has a Waking Up message for a few secons.
But of course, Kobo can be turned off completely, whereas the Kindle can not. soo....
