Reset/Restart a frozen Kindle

A quick note to myself, while I still recover from my first Kindle Krash

  • Slide and hold the power switch for at least 15 seconds, this is way past when the green light on the power switch  goes off indicating that the Kindle has been turned off
  • Release the switch
  • Slide the power switch again – nothing will happen immediately
  • Wait for 30 to 40 seconds – it reboots

And while you are waiting for your Kindle to reboot take a look at some of the keyboard shortcuts

    Thank you!
