1) Finish reading
2) Turn on WiFi
3) Wait till WiFi connects
4) Press "Home", which effectively "closes" the book
5) Wait <x> seconds for sync to be performed with Amazon's servers

My question, really, is is the procedure above the ideal one, and what is the time <x>?

Thanks
This sequence is exactly how I do it. As far as time goes, I watch the upper left corner. It does a 'circle' thingy. Takes about a couple of seconds if even that. Then I turn the WiFi off again.
