I really don't understand why the Kindle doesn't shut the wireless system down more itself. After all, it doesn't need to be on all the time. This isn't a mobile phone where you may be receiving inbound calls. The Kindle knows when you may be about to use the wireless. You've hit the Search button, selected to go to the Kindle store or opened the web browser. You would think it would shut down when not in use. It could wake up at specified times to go out and retrieve your periodical content. Seems like that would really make things more seamless for people. They wouldn't have to switch it on and off which is a bit awkward sometimes since the switch in on the back. I don't get why that switch isn't on the top actually.
