"Restart"ing your Kindle is like rebooting your PC, basically.


The only advantages to having wifi/3g off are that the battery life is (noticeably) longer, and Archived Items stays at zero after you reboot, if that's your goal. It doesn't delete files or remove collections or anything.

btw, don't freak out if you restart your Kindle and your collections and such say zero for 5 seconds or so. The Kindle takes a small while after rebooting to refresh the Home menu as to what is loaded on it.





First, he was talking about removing it from Archived Items, which is not a list of items which are on the Kindle, but rather a list of items available on the associated account at Amazon for immediate download.

Second, yes you CAN hide the dictionary from the Home menu by putting it in a Collection. I have a collection called "Misc." in which I place my Kindle User Guide, my Calibre Quick Start Guide, My Clippings, and The New Oxford American Dictionary.

Items that are in collections do not appear in main Home Menu screen if you have the Home Menu sorted by Collections. If you have it sorted by Title, Author or Most Recent First, yes they do. If you have it sorted by Collections, no they don't.

I do have both dictionaries on the Kindle and are both functioning and in a collection but it's just this one in the Archive that is really annoying me!
