I'm pleased to say that when I followed the suggestion to do a manual reset (poking a paperclip into the small hole on the back) it let me go into the process of resyncing over the USB lead, reloaded my library and even woke up the WiFi  . I've been able to access all 3 wireless access points in our house. Thank you for the pointer to that page on the Kobo website.

You cannot power off a Kindle. You can reboot or put it to sleep. So what you ae doing it using the power button to put your Kindle to sleep.
So your saying that your Kindle boots up as fast as you think it does is wrong because it's not booting up. It's waking from sleep.
You can power off a Kobo (yet another feature that helps make Kobo better) for when you are not planning on reading for a while. With a Kindle, you just leave it sleeping, put in away and if you don't use it in long enough time, you drain the battery. So if you where to keep the Kindle you have and buy a newer one, and keep the current Kindle as a spare, you would have to remember to keep charging it every so often so the battery doesn't go flat.
Why are you turning off the Kobo instead of putting it to sleep?
