I really thought my Kindle had died. I already had an instant where I had to do the hard re-set and even tried disconnecting (and re-connecting!) the battery. I thought I'll keep trying for a few days and read some of the forums. And then I read where tenacity wins out. Well, after more than a week, I gave up. I was getting ready to call Amazon and as I picked up the phone to dial, I turned the Kindle power switch on and, surprise, surprise, I saw "Amazon Kindle" flicker onto the screen and stay.
For the last week, I'd gotten an occasional flash but basically a white screen. Before that a few weeks ago, it locked up with all the type on the screen (and I was worried about screen burn-in since it remained so even with power off and disconnected). I'm so glad I'll have it to take to New Orleans this week to a conference. It does just enough basic email that it will serve me well given that I need a rare total break from work and did not plan to take my laptop with me. I'm still trying to decide whether to get a 'min' laptop but the Kindle may do just enough.
Wahoo! It's always great when technology works.
