Troubleshooting

Kindle won't turn on or respond.

Ensure the device is charged. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable and let it charge for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't respond, try holding the power button for a full 40 seconds to perform a hard reset.

Cannot download books or connect to Wi-Fi.

Check your Wi-Fi connection. Ensure you're within range of your router and the password is correct. Try restarting your Kindle and your Wi-Fi router. If problems persist, try 'Forget Network' in Wi-Fi settings and reconnect.

Screen is frozen or unresponsive.

Perform a hard reset by holding the power button down for 40 seconds. Release the button and wait for the Kindle to restart. If it remains unresponsive, connect it to a charger during the reset.

Page turns are slow or sluggish.

Try restarting your Kindle. Go to 'Settings' > 'Device Options' > 'Restart'. If the issue continues, ensure your device software is up-to-date by syncing over Wi-Fi, or consider freeing up some storage if your device is nearly full.
