From what I understand, an E Ink screen doesn't consume power when simply keeping an image displayed. Instead, the battery of the Kindle is only diminished by WiFi and Whispernet use, page refreshes (turning pages, typing, navigating, etc.) and book indexing.*
If the above is true, I assume Standby merely prevents accidental key presses and does not help maintain the battery life, right? After all, you can still send books to your Kindle while it is in Standby mode.

*Right or wrong, can anyone confirm this?
