Kindle

Thursday

Turn my old Kindle on to download a new couple of books and nothing happens.

Check the "settings" menu and the WiFi setup has gone. What?

A few attempts at getting it to restart were ineffective. Then I see on Amazon Black Friday the Fire 7 tablet for sale at £29.99.  Mmmmm? 

It will do Kindle and more. It's cheap... So I bought one. Delivery Saturday as too late for next day Prime.

Friday.

At work. Kindle playing up with messages saying unable to open the library. 

I check settings. Still no WiFi and pages 1 to 3 there.

Hold power button again for 30 secs or so. Screen goes white. No change 

Workmate suggests holding power for much longer. Do that.

Screen goes white. 

Then "Kindle" appears on screen and then a bar showing it rebooting.

Fixed.

So there you go. Switch it off and on again does work.



P.S.

I bought the Fire 7" anyway. It has a memory card slot for a micro SD and expandable up to 256gb. I have a 64gb card I can use and then watch Amazon Prime video!  My Nexus 7 seems very slow at the moment!
