Yesterday when i went to turn on my Kt, it would not turn on. Nothing happened, no light on the bottom and the screen did not change.

I tried pressing and holding the power switch but this had no effect. I knew the battery was ok, has i had read on it not 4 hrs before and it was about 70% charged.

At this point i was in panic mode, i couldnt live without my kindle as i do a lot of travelling to work and back.

I then plugged my kindle in via USB and it proceeded to restart itself, and since then it's worked ok.

I know kindles are prone to the odd lock up but do you think this is a sign of something major, i find myself switching it on now just to check it will.
