Sleep mode is fine. The old screen burn is particular to the old CRT displays/TV's I believe. As you know, the e-ink screens are quite different than that.

* I just Wiki'ed it. CRT (cathode ray tubes), and Plasma screens (to a lesser extent), are susceptible to screen burn in, but not LCD's. Screen savers these days are mainly for aesthetic reasons.
