Why does my Kindle Ereader, Oasis and Paperwhite, starts to lag after more than 20 hours of cumulative reading time? The longer I read, the slower it gets. Highlighting, annotating, and worst of all, finding a dictionary definition of a word starts to get very slow to response. It takes 3 or 4 seconds for the Kindle to response while normally it takes less than half a second.

I can reboot the Kindle and that fixes the problem but I have to reboot all over again after another cycle of 20 hours cumulative reading time. I only have 3 or 4 books downloaded to my device so I don't think indexing is the problem.

What causes it and is there anything I can do about it?
