I just received a HD 7 Kindle for Christmas. I am still not very familiar with it. I have downloaded 5 apps - facebook, twitter, live journal, pinterest, and kik. It is already telling me that I am "low on memory". From what I have read on threads on here, it seems like I should be able to download a LOT more than 5 apps before the device is "low on memory".

Could this mean that I have a defective device?

My only other thought is that maybe I need to close out apps when I am not using them? (like on the iphone you can close out apps). If that is the case, where do I go in the device to do so? I have only used the kindle twice so I'm a newbie.

Thanks.
