Something weird happened

pshrynk · 09-10-2009, 01:59 PM

This morning, I turned my Kindle on and it flashed the book I was reading, then went blank and then I got a timer bar for a while, then it went to the index. My book was not there. I found it again and opened it up. Later, when I went back to read it, the screen was blank again and then opened up tot he index again. Again, the book was not there. When I finally found it, it was at the very end of the list. The whispernet was off and had not been on for a couple days. It was fully charged. I checked the firmware version and it's 2.03.

Anyone else have something like this happen?

I've had it happen when I leave my K1 on for a long time. Turning it off, and then turning the power and whispernet both on restored the book to its proper place on page 1, and eliminated the flashing.
I have a theory that all electronic things periodically need to be shut completely down, and that Kindles periodically need to "call home" via Whispernet.

If this fails, try a reset.
