This particular unit is the only one I've ever had this problem with, which is why I'm stumped as to why it's happening. WiFi is only turned on when I need to connect -- about once every month or so -- and it is very deliberately turned off when I'm finished. The little airplane is displayed when I'm done.

@eschwartz -- thanks for the link, though I don't know what that is or how it works. For now I've solved the problem at home, and I think I'll just not take the K4 with me when I travel. My PW has never exhibited the same behavior, making it my default reader for traveling, I guess.
Are you outside the US?

If so, you can disable the SO for free. (Just in case you're not aware)

I had the reversed problem; wifi got turned off while using a browser using my fire hdx 8.9.

Real problem was the "smartscreen" management which is really dumb management; after disabling smartscreen, no more wifi getting turned off while I was doing something; looked like the smartscreen is a timed operation for having wifi on only for specific times.

If the K4nt also has "smartscreen"; it might be what is overriding other settings or apps....
