There is no reason whatsoever that the iliad could not do what we, the users, would consider "hibernate".
All that has to be done is to store the current book/page that the user is reading, and get back to ipdf when the iliad wakes up. There is easily enough flash memory for that. Of course a more general hibernate would be useful, one that could wake up and restore any program - but for a device that has such a one-track use it isn't really needed.
The boot sequence should be made faster - but that, again, as scotty1024 pointed out should also be possible.
