Turn off Kindle
Is it possible to turn off any of the e-ink Kindles?
I love how I can turn off my Kobo's. |

Yes, just remove the battery.
How long does it take your Kobo to resume working when you turn it back on? More than a second, and it really wasn't any more off than a Kindle is when shut down. Last edited by knc1; 05-08-2017 at 12:58 PM. |

Possible
Are you willing to jailbreak your kindle and install kual? Then yes it is possible, by executing "poweroff" in a shell (run by kual). However there is no poweroff screen it will show the restarting screen until you turn it back on.

If it was powered off, there would be no way the mechanical switch could turn it back on. |

I have a Kobo Aura HD and I rarely use it and when I do it's ready to go. I leave my Kindle unused and it is dead when I try to use it. annoying... |

Or just sell it, since Kindle devices can not please you, there is no reason for you to keep it. |

I have always found it surprising that you can't turn off a Kindle. I have an old Sony T2 that you can power down. I haven't charged the battery for over a year. Every couple months I turn it on, just to check it, and the battery meter still shows as full. The Oasis, on the other hand, has a deep sleep mode, so battery use while not in use is minimized. |

Turn on airplane mode and just remember to feed it once a month.
Oh and a turned off Kobo still needs fed about once a year. |
