But when the battery dwindles to the recharge warning, and I recharge, WiFi turns itself back on. So there are many cycles where I charge, detach charger, and come back and it's dead, because WiFi has turned itself back on.

Is this "normal" behavior? Is there a setting I'm missing to leave WiFi off on reboot?

The 5.7.2.1 update ran of its own accord because of this behavior, and now my PW2 is very sluggish running this update. So I'd like to have a little more control of the actions it takes after reboot.
I have never had any problems with my Paperwhite 2. There is a newer version of the firmware just released to fix some bugs.
