Why does my Kindle Fire HDX turn off when I open this cover flush to the back to read?

it's a design flaw the magnet is in the MIDDLE section of the cover and so switches it off when you fold it back and it contacts the BACK of the kindle. (this should only happen when it is closed and touches the front of the kindle) . Mine cover does it too and I'm sending it back. I do not know if they have fixed this issue maybe a weaker magnet or having it placed in another section would fix the issue (but that would involve a redesign).

Mind does not do that when I open it up, so I would suggest you contact Amazon Kindle support. If they cannot help maybe you could get the cover people to replace the one you have with a new one.

The case is closed with a magnetic style devise. When opens the kindle will turn on once the magnetic attachment leaves the closed position.

I never had this problem until the past month or two. It's not the cover, because it does it when the cover is off. I think it's the Kindle. Maybe it is slower in loading data? If I touch the screen and wait a minute it goes ahead and opens.

The Kindle goes into sleep mode when the case is closed, however, I've never had an issue with the Kindle being stuck in sleep mode. I see that as a feature since it puts the device in power save.

I have the regular Kindle that doesn't have the magnetic on/off switch, but since the case has a magnetic clasp the Paperwhite should turn off and on automatically with this cover.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

When you close the cover it turns itself off as well as stops my IPod music player.

It only works when the kindle is in the case a certain way. It takes you to the lock screen when it opens and shuts the screen off when closed. Once I got the kindle in the case the right way, this function has worked perfectly.

Mine does the same thing sometimes, I have found if you pull the end of the charger cord up the back of the Kindle and the wrap the cord around a couple of times to pull it taunt , then plug it into the outlet, (sometimes you have to undo and redo the cord a couple of times to get it to start charging), it will make the connection. Just be careful about how hard you pull on the cord, or the end that goes into the Kindle will bend out of place and soon break off.

This has happened to me about 6 times in two years... but I don't know why! I just 'slap' the cover closed & when I re-open it, the problem is solved!! Presto magic-O!

Closing the cover will deactivatethe screen momentarily but will not completely turn off your tablet if it is on. You can only accomplish this with the tablet on-off switch.

There is a reset button on the back of the kindle. In later generations you have to hold the on button for 15-20 seconds.

I've had my Kindle for a couple of weeks now, and I just noticed screen burn. On the upper left, I can see the title of the book I've been reading, even when the Kindle is powered down, or I'm at the main page. Why this burn happens, I don't know, since, in theory, you shouldn't be on the same page for more than 10 minutes before it puts up the screen saver.

Yes, as I have the Kindle Fire HDX and it is perfect. It fits snugly so it is not likely to fall out when opened. I like the grain of the leather, the color I chose and the fact that when you close the cover it turns off your Kindle.

You may have case installed incorrectly. Or there may be a problem with your Kindle.

The tablet does NOT automatically turn off when the case is closed. The ON/OFF/Standby button is accessible when the cover is closed

It doesn't seem to me to be a secure feature so much as one that is meant to turn the Kindle off when you shut it. Also, the magnet on mine is located in the top right corner, not in the middle. Again, a feature if the auto shut-off?
