Turning off the NEW Kindle
Just got in my NEW kindle and it is amazing. I have started the addiuction, but one question:
How do I turn it off? It does not say anything about turning off in the manual so what do I do on flights.

I usually just close my Kindle case and put it away. Or I just keep on reading. Nobody seems to care either way.

The e-ink screens do not use power unless changing pages, provided the wireless radio is off. That's why it switches to this mode and can leave an image on the screen.

No it doesn't - it changes to a screensaver-type image, but anyone looking at it would certainly think it was off.
