If you are using Windows, while in Explorer right click on the drive labeled "Kindle" and select "eject" from the menu. That will basically close out the Kindle drive from use in Explorer. This allows you to read your Kindle while it is still connected to the computer for charging. You will not be able to drag and drop files onto the Kindle after you eject it. If you want to access the Kindle again to move files, just remove the USB cable and reconnect it and the Kindle will show in Explorer again.
If you're on a Mac, there may be a similar process which someone familiar with Macs will have to explain.
