If it does use a "low power" state then it uses it constantly, not just when switched off.
My guess is that the sony does go into a "suspend to ram" mode between page turns. When you flip the page, it wakes up flips the page and goes back to sleep. This is only an educated guess, as I have no idea how an electronic device can stay powered for so long otherwise.
