Paperwhite frozen, but its okay now
I searched here and didn't find anyone having their Paperwhite freeze up them. This is my first Kindle anything that froze up on me.
I was doing a page turn and it didn't respond, and wouldn't respond to anything. So I had to hold the button I don't know how many times I finally got it to reboot last night. Hope this isn't going to happen much. I haven't used it since, guess I will have to hope it doesn't. My old Sony use to do that. Anyone else? |

Kindles do it once in awhile. All I own freeze one in a blue moon. I think it's due to running out RAM most times or a bad book.

I had something similar happen to me, but it was due to an almost dead battery.

It happened one time to my PW due to opening a bad txt file I guess.

Never had one freeze on me, but I never send books by email or sideload, so maybe that's why.

Well my Paperwhite gave me a scare last night. I was reading and went to turn the light from 10 to 5 and it froze with the light setting menu on and then restarted itself.
I've never had a Kindle auto restart but have heard of it happening. It seems to be okay now but I am keeping an eye on it. |

Some books have bugs and may cause Kindle to crash. Merriam Webster Advanced Learner Dictionary crashes at location 587,000 to 587,030. There may be other locations where it crashes that I am not aware of.

At least if it happens again I wont freak this time. Today It's restarted about 15 times but that was because I was trying to get the custom fonts to work. I finally did get it working. It's fine now. *crossed fingers* |

As for the auto restart it does seem to be a bug causing a system crash. Hasn't happen again but I am more slow at adjusting the light now just in case. |

Yes me too. I love my PW and don't want to deal with color blobs, specs or scratches.
