Turning off the Kindle

oommggwwttff · 08-24-2012, 10:05 PM

So I've been standbying my Kindle after every session and never completely turning it off. Should I turn it completely off if I'm not going to be using it for a few months? Does it matter how much charge I leave it at if I want to prolong battery life? Thanks.

The battery charge should be between 40% and 70% for shipping or long term storage, and as off as you can get it would help. Hold the power button until the screen clears to power down all but minimal battery backup for RAM.
