Use Kindle while Charging via Kindle Micro-USB Cable
You can use your Kindle while it is connected via USB and charging from your computer by unmounting
or ejecting it so Kindle exits USB drive mode. Kindle then displays the Home screen, and a lightning bolt
on the battery status icon shows your Kindle is still charging.
Use Kindle's Power Switch
The Power switch on top of Kindle puts it to sleep, wakes it up, and turns your Kindle on or off.
To wake up or turn on your Kindle: Slide and release the power switch.
To put your Kindle to sleep: Slide and release the power switch. Other keys and buttons are locked in
Sleep mode.
To turn your Kindle off: Slide and hold the power switch for four seconds until the screen goes blank,
and then release.
To restart your Kindle: Disconnect your Kindle from any power source, and then slide and hold the
power switch for 40 seconds before releasing.
Tip: Your Kindle will go to sleep by itself after ten minutes if you are not using it.
