Jeff Bezos apologizes for 1984-Kindle debacle
The Kindle has a switch on the back that turns off the whispernet. It saves battery life.

I may be wrong, but I read on LinuxJournal review of Kindle 2, that only first generation Kindles have a physical switch for the whispernet. New models activate whispernet automagically.
Perhaps someone with the new Kindle can comment?

With the Kindle 2, you just hit the menu button and turn off Whispernet there.
