When you close the cover, does the Kindle totally turn off, or is it always in a sleep mode? If so, how do you turn the Paper White Kindle off?

The Paperwhite turns off when you close the cover to conserve battery life. Open the cover to turn it on and swipe to resume reading.

I think so but, the closing latch on the side is not as strong as I would prefer. It often unsnaps. Also some of them have the magnet that turns the Kindle off, this one does not. If I had a choice I would get one that had the magnet

The cover has a magnetic cover, which will close or turn off the ipad when it shuts, and turn it on when the cover is opened. By turning off and on, I mean more like putting it to sleep/waking it up. It does not shut it completely down. I think this is a very handy feature to have in an ipad cover. And I love this ipad cover.

The light should go off in a few seconds. Make certain the cover is fully across the kindle and that the magnets are in place. If the problem persists try pressing the start button for about 30 seconds so that the kindle starts reloading. After the reload is complete open the case cover and unlock the kindle. Close the cover and the light should go off after a few seconds. If the light does not go off contact Kindle Customer Service.

I have the regular Kindle that doesn't have the magnetic on/off switch, but since the case has a magnetic clasp the Paperwhite should turn off and on automatically with this cover.

Shutting the cover does not turn off the device. That is based on your settings which were designated by you. It is based on inactivity of device.

Make sure Kindle is off. Take back off. Tiny hole about midway marked reset. Just above battery and to the left. I use end of paper clip and push. you can tell when it gives a little. Does not take a lot of pressure. Hope this helps.

Mind does not do that when I open it up, so I would suggest you contact Amazon Kindle support. If they cannot help maybe you could get the cover people to replace the one you have with a new one.

Sadly, no, closing the cover will not put the phone into sleep mode. You can easily access the power button when the case is closed, however, so putting it to sleep is very easy.

When you close the case the kindle goes to sleep. When opening the flap the kindle wakes up.

Sorry to hear about that . I would return the case to Amazon. I have the same case and auto on/off feature works just fine. When I have my kindle in the easel or standard book position, it doesnt shut down. I think you have a misaligned magnet.

When I close the cover the unit goes to a black screen. When I open it back up I have to slide the lock over and the Kindle is back to the home page. If you peek down inside while it is closed it is black. The only complaint I have is that the cover has to be upside down all the time when playing games.

No help I need an answer this question. The case I bought covers the Kindle, but you have to take it out of the case to turn it on and off. Which one can I buy that will allow me to turn it on and off?????

When you close the cover it goes to sleep mode but is easily awakened so that is good as you are not using Juice..:)

I had my first one for nine months before it died. The thing is, I never turned it off and now I'm doing that with my new one. I know it goes into 'sleep' mode after awhile but I believe it's still better to turn it off if you're not using it for a couple of days. Also, they come with a year guarantee so this time I'm going to try and not lose my receipt.

It goes to sleep when you close the cover, and wake up when you open the cover. Hope that helps!

be sure you do not power off before closing the cover. the device will go into sleep mode and is awakened by opening the cover.
