If you do it right, your Kindle will enter an information collecting mode. You should try it - it won't damage or mess up your Kindle. I provided an AVI file in an attachment. The video file shows me accessing this feature on my Kindle.

Does anyone know what this feature is for?
This is just a quess, but I would think that it's storing some hardware/software diagnostics for future analysis because it figured that your kindle was technically wacked going on and off like that. :-)
