It's not really that big a deal, I guess I'm just confused because I'm used to turning things off when I'm not using them, and even though a Kindle doesn't behave the same way as, like, my iPod, I keep assuming it does, somehow. And then I don't know why turning it off would be BAD for it (unplugging a TV isn't bad for it, just weird, if we're still using that metaphor). Whatever, I don't have a technically-minded brain and I probably wouldn't understand the reasons anyway, so it's cool.
