I always love it when someone else knows better (sigh).
Two reasons for me:
1) If I have some source code, an API, or some math equations on it, I want it "open" for hours beside me so I can refer to it over and over again without having it "close" on me every 10 minutes. My text books don't "close" on me!!!
2) I've started using it for music practice and I can have the same page of music open for 2 hours (say) if we're rehearsing something difficult. Can't stop in the middle of the song to "open" the Kindle again.

Furthermore, the wake up takes all of 5 seconds every 10 minutes max, so I really don't understand why 30 seconds out of an hour meeting worst case would be a problem.
It sounds like you're just trying to justify a decision you've already made.
