I'm having a strange issue with my Kindle and was wondering if others have experienced this. There are two issues actually, that are most likely related:

1) My Kindle battery drains even when the device is powered off (both power and wireless). The drain is not huge, but noticeable.
2) The Kindle will, at seemingly random times, power on while charging. I.e. screen is on, but power/wireless switches are off. Even when disconnected from the charger, it remains "on."

So, I sit here looking at a fully functional powered on Kindle, with the power switch off!!! It is crazy. Has anyone seen this? Perhaps this is a defective unit.

Thanks,
Tom
