there is no way to power off a paperwhite, even if you want to. All you can do is blank the screen.

it does not have a shut down option, [ not even a secret one AFAIK] so unless you prise it open and pull the battery out, it stays on !

if you have one you are not using, like me, best you can do is leave it with wifi off but give it a top up charge every few months to keep the battery above zero.

dunno why they made them like that or if it is true for every PW generation but its true for my 3rd gen one.
