What "old joke?" -- restarting is always the first advice I give for fixing computer problems. It is not a joke.

Which reminds me -- when I was a child, one of my mentors was a TV repair man. The vast majority of service calls to houses to fix their TV turned out to be that after somebody unplugged the vacuum cleaner, they forgot to plug the TV back in. Houses only had two electrical outlets per room back then. People did not want to pay his minimum service call fee just for him to plug in their TV, so he would clean their TV tuner (mechanical switches that corrode) before giving them his bill.

The point is, the majority of computer problems (and the kindle IS a computing device) is that they need a restart, like the majority of TV (and other appliance problems) was that they needed to be plugged in to an electrical outlet.

Anyway, we are glad that you got past that problem, and on to the next one.
