At the top of every screen, you also see Whispernet and battery life status indicators

WHISPERNET STATUS INDICATORS
The Whispernet status indicator shows you whether the wireless radio is turned on
or off, the signal strength of your Whispernet service, and the connection speed. Here
are the possible indicators and their meanings.
The Whispernet service is active and your Kindle has a strong signal. The more
bars that are filled in with black, the stronger the wireless signal. Note that a weak
signal can increase power consumption.
None of the bars are filled in. This means the wireless signal strength is too low
to connect. You will not be able to connect to the Kindle Store, Basic Web, register
your device, retrieve content from Archived Items, sync your devices, receive your
subscriptions, or sync to the furthest page read.
The bars are filled in grey. This means Whispernet is checking for signal
strength. This usually lasts less than 30 seconds.
The Whispernet service is turned off. You can turn on the wireless by pressing
the Menu button, and using the 5-way controller to navigate to "Turn Wireless On."
