The Kindle has a huge dark pattern where to turn off the wifi to save the battery life, you have to turn ON Airplane mode. There is no labeled wifi switch. I am sure it is so they can keep the screen saver home page advertisement up to date.

- coderintherye 5y agoWhile this is a part of the terrible UI/UX of the Kindle, I highly doubt it is for keeping the ad up to date as it this is also the way it exists on ad-free Kindles. Kindle have just always had fairly poor interface decisions.
