Kindle Paperwhite - how to close browser?

[violamay]

OK, all. I decided to keep the Kindle Paperwhite and start playing with it. Thanks to all of you lovely people who shared your knowledge with me. I really appreciate it. I'm probably going to have more questions but here's the first one.

I managed to open the browser just fine and log into my google email account. Now I can't figure out how to close the browser. I'd like to be able to open and close the browser at will and only be online when I want to. Is this possible? Thanks.

EDIT: I just answered my own question by doing further research. I see that I have to enable airplane mode to switch off the wifi. But I still would like to know how to close the browser without having to resort to that if there is another way.

Closing the browser doesn't make you "offline;" for that, you have to shut off the wi-fi. (You should do this when you're not actively onlining; it'll make the battery last longer.) There probably isn't a "close browser" setting, just a "go back to book/documents listings."

Unfortunately, I don't know any specifics for that model of Kindle.
