Is there a reason to leave the whispernet on while you are reading a book? Do you only need it to download books to your Kindle? Thanks!

No. Only for downloading or using the web browser. |

If you want to be able to sync between 2 devices (say your Kindle and Kindle for pc) You'll need to have whispernet on so it will be able to find your place.

Or turn it on periodically and tell it to synch....

Thanks, so if I turn whispernet off I will still be able to turn the K2 off and then turn it on and it will be on the page I left it?

You should always exit the book (ie., go back to the home screen) before turning it off, though. Putting it to sleep while in the book is ok. |

Why is this? I never do that. |

I put my K to sleep while still in the book I'm reading so when I wake it up I'm right where I want to be.

Some people have experienced that if they turn the K off while in a book, when they turn it back on, the book has lost its place. It's not always going to happen that way, but sometimes it might. However, if you always just put it to sleep, or be sure that you're on the home page before turning it off. . .well, no one has reported any problems with losing one's place that way. I think of it as the same idea as you don't just turn your computer off with a program running, you close the program first. |

Exactly, it's like pulling your computer cord out of the wall without saving your Word document. Sure it has autosave, but that doesn't guarantee you the latest changes. |
