The lock symbol (sleep symbol or whatever) would indicate that the Kobo was in sleep mode and requires a power button press to unlock/wakeup. This would allow the reader to begin reading immediately upon picking up the Kobo and any time taken to come out of sleep mode would be taken up by reading the currently displayed page. So the 'perception' of startup time would be reduced.
So perhaps sleep mode could display the current page, but power off mode would show the cover? Lots of ways to do it and many different opinions and preferences.
I have no clue of the limitations on the device but if it could 'cache' the last page shown and display that sooner on startup, then the startup time again would be 'perceived' to be shorter.
