Loopy,
Here is what the Kindle user guide says, "To turn your Kindle off, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds until the screen goes blank and then release. To wake up or turn on your Kindle, slide and release the power switch again" (chapter 1 pg 21). So if your Kindle isn't turning off, but going to the slide-show screen saver try holding the switch on top longer after you slide it. However, many people have said that Amazon customer service recommends putting the Kindle in sleep mode rather than actually turning it off unless you won't be using your Kindle for several days. Hope this helps
