I turned it off. i'll check to see if settings are retained when I get home this evening. I am ok with the battery lasting for the 4 days. If I can get more with wireless turned off that's good too. So far I am loving my kindle. So much out there to read and so much free. It's like christmas every day. I don't think sighted people understand just how important it is for visually impaired people to be able to be a part of normal every day society. Gery D.
