In reference to this thread, this "off" mode should prevent indexing.
Perhaps "mostly off" is a better term.  |
One difference between the two modes is that if you leave WiFi/3G on, in sleep mode the Kindle will occasionally wake up and "phone home" to Amazon. Eg if you have a newspaper subscription, your daily newspaper will download while your Kindle (and you) are asleep. It doesn't do that in "mostly off" (I like that!
) mode.
