Key lock or standby mode allows you to transport it without accidentally pushing any of the keys. To get this mode, push the power button briefly. You'll know it's in key lock because it will say so at the bottom of the screen, along with a message to push the power button to unlock.

To turn it off completely, you hold the power button down. I can't think of a reason why you might want to routinely turn a reader off. The last time mine was off was to flash an update a few months ago. I routinely get 2-3 books over a couple of weeks before the indicator drops below 4 bars.
Dear polly:

This is really clear and a major help. Can I take this and add it to our FAQ sheet just as is? I think you laid this out beautifully!
