So how does one turn off an eInk Kindle?
I've had it Wi-Fi off, Kindle put to sleep (and away) for take-off and landing. And I gather that "screensaver off" is still sleep, just sleep without the screensaver showing. And I can't even take out the battery, because I'm not supposed to get to it. Is "screensaver off" sleep enough or should I just go into a corner and be ashamed for being a horrid criminal now? |

You hold the power switch until the screen saver goes away. Technically, a Kindle in sleep mode uses as much energy as a Kindle turned off. The E-book reader only uses energy when it is changing pages. Which is why I don't worry about turning it off. I have had Flight Attendents who were a bit more concerned in making sure that passenger X turns it all the way off and having a discussion about sleep being the same as off just strikes me as silly.

1) turn off wifi/3G (if on)
2) turn off e-reader completely. 3) Open up DTB/magazine brought to read during takeoff/landing (short story anthologies are good for this, as they can be read and finished quickly) 4) Switch back to e-reader once takeoff/landing is over. |

I make sure that wifi & bluetooth is off (they usually are, saves the battery) and continue reading. I fly quite seldom, and can't remember any problems. IIRC once I had to explain that it is not a phone but PDA and is not emitting any waves.

I will be flying for the first time later this year with an ereader. I think I'll just turn it off - it's not hard to turn it back on afterwards.

What do you mean by that? I assume completely mean to turn it off as much as possible using the buttons. Do you mean to say that it is not completely since the on/off button is not mechanical?

1. Press the power switch briefly. This puts it to sleep, with a screen saver. 2. Hold the power switch in for about 7 seconds. This puts it to sleep, but with a blank screen. It will still wake instantly when you press the power switch. 3. Hold the power switch in for about 20s. This will reboot the Kindle. There is no way to power down a Kindle. You can put it to sleep, or you can reboot it. You can't shut it down. |
