Prevent my Kindle from turning off every 8 minutes?
Is there a way to prolong the time of the screen on and not turn off after 8 minutes?
I have an old Kindle Paperwhite (not current). The firmware is 5.14.2 |

With jailbreak, you can disable auto-lock in KUAL.

There is also a sleep enable extension attached to the same post. Much more convenient than rebooting. |

I don't know of a different way to disable sleep, but some years ago there was a thread on a way to change the amount of time before sleep. It might be possible to set it quite long. You would need to search for the thread. If you find it, please let us know.
