I usually shutdown my devices using HALT extension in KUAL if the device will not be used for a while.

All of my older devices shutdown with a screen "Please wait while your Kindle starts" (or something similar). Then pressing the power button causes the Kindle to boot. This has worked on K2, K4NT, Touch and PW2.

On my PW4, the shutdown is the same, but the power button does not make the Kindle boot. The light momentarily goes green, and then nothing happens!

I tried multiple times, short press, long press - no result. The only way to boot is a very long press that causes a reboot.

Can anyone confirm how HALT and boot work on PW4? Can you describe what happens and how long does take after the power button press, please?

@ilovejedd, you seem to have a few devices in various stages of use and rest?

Thanks!
