Welcome · 17KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4
th
EDITION
You can leave the Kindle User’s Guide, or any item you are reading, at any time by
pressing the Home button. If you are done reading, you can put your Kindle to sleep
by sliding and releasing the power button located at the top of your Kindle (you wake
up Kindle the same way). Sleeping your Kindle will extend battery life and also lock
all of the keys and buttons so you don’t inadvertently press one while not using your
Kindle. When your Kindle is asleep, you will see an image on the screen. To turn off
your Kindle completely, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds, then release.
The Kindle screen will blank and the device will turn off. If you ever need assistance,
you can use the Web or your telephone to contact us. See Chapter 9 for all of the
Kindle Support contact options.
