A week ago I bought a used Kindle DX, the US version. It came with 2.3.2, which I then upgraded to 2.5.3 via WN (first 2.5.2, then 2.5.3).

Now, whenever I try to power it off by holding the power switch for little more than 4 seconds it seems to be going into a suspend-to-ram or some sort of standby with a partially blank screen (I can still, barely, read the last page). Another thing is that when powered up it doesn't go through the usual progress bar. Instead, it loads the home screen right away.

If I'm not mistaken, that wasn't the behavior with 2.3.2. This came up because of interference with my wireless keyboard. So, am I to take the device apart and remove the battery each time I want to power it down? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.
