But the Kindle occasionally\u00a0suffers from a bug here or there that can put a hefty dent in your battery life.

The Kindle is, essentially, always &#8220;on&#8221; unless you actually power it down completely. Whether it&#8217;s displaying the screensaver, the book list, or the page of the book you&#8217;re reading, the device is more or less in the same state and using the same amount of power. Thus, the argument for putting the Kindle to sleep isn&#8217;t that the sleep state actually saves a ton of power (recall, from the previous section, that the network radios stay on even when the device is asleep), but that the sleep state ensures that the back light is actually completely off. In fact, it&#8217;s the only time, besides completely powering down the Kindle, that this is possible. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":8,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":8,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":8,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":1102} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":8,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"actualCount\":0} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":false,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":0,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":null,\"countRemainingForInjection\":null,\"nextBlockCount\":null,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":null} --><\/p>\n<p> Your Kindle will go to sleep automatically if you leave it alone for 10 minutes, but that&#8217;s 10 minutes of wasted backlighting.

The Kindle Paperwhite has a little magnetic switch hidden just behind the lower right corner of the screen that allows the case to, courtesy of a very slender hidden magnet, trigger the switch and put the device to sleep. As much as we love the case (both we and several of our spouses have them) there is a small argument to be made for considering a non-magnetic case. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":823} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":823,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":77,\"nextBlockCount\":463,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1286} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":9,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":9,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":10,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":10,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":9,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> In previous generations of the Kindle firmware, there was a bug wherein the magnet would not actually trigger sleep mode (and thus no power saving was achieved), and we&#8217;ve noticed that as the cases get older\/looser with extensive use as they slide around in bags\/purses.
