Turning Off Kindle Paperwhite: Difference from other models

It may be unfamiliar to turn off your Kindle Paperwhite if you've only had it for a short time. This is because the operation of the Paperwhite is slightly different from other Kindle models in terms of function and operation.

How to turn off the Kindle Paperwhite

The Kindle Paperwhite can be turned off by pressing a button:

1. Turn off the Kindle Paperwhite by pressing and holding the power button until a small window appears where you tap the "Screen Off" option. This is how you turn off the Kindle completely. Especially if you do not need the device for a few days or weeks, this way is suitable.
2. If you just want to put the Kindle away for a while, you have the option to put it into sleep mode. To do this, simply press the "power button" once briefly. Repeat this process, so you power up the device from sleep mode again.
3. If your device is frozen, restart it by pressing and holding the power button as well. It may take up to 40 seconds for the device to restart.

Screen saver and restart

If you are taking a break from reading, the Kindle Paperwhite's screen saver will activate after a few minutes of inactivity. This does not consume any power. To use the device again, briefly press the "On/Off button".From other Kindl- models, you may be used to the device option Restart, which you can tap. However, to restart the Kindle Paperwhite, again press and hold the power button for seven seconds. Now tap the "Restart" selection window. If this dialog box does not appear, press and hold the button for up to 40 seconds.
