When I asked him about this, his response that he had his devices set to power off made sense but this did not match his original response which referred to sleep mode only. ...

No Comment.

I just meant for his use case, with his Icarus, it does what he wants.

I almost never switch my Kindle Paperwhite off, even if I don't use it for a week. The battery doesn't run down much, so I don't see the point; also, it takes much longer to power on again.

Unless it is jailbroken, it is not possible to switch a Kindle off.

Same here. The only two readers I have with auto-shut off, and covers that will take advantage of the feature, are my Kindle Basic 8th Generation and (now) the Kobo Mini. I have to admit — with Mini especially — I tend to peek in after closing it to see if actually turned off (even though I know the timer will shut it off at some point anyhow).
