Smile Kindle 3 Freeze

My solution: (Kindle 3 3G)
I first noticed that page refreshes were taking longer and longer. Second symptom was that the slide-release of the power switch did not put the Kindle to sleep. Holding it for as much as a minute did not restart the Kindle.
I used the Settings menu to restart, and it froze at "Please wait while your Kindle restarts."
FInally I took a paper clip and poked it into the reset hole. (Just to the left of the power/usb input.) That restarted my Kindle immediately, and all my content was present. Sleep and etc. worked perfectly thereafter.
