Ah, So - you must mean you are accessing it over WiFi, not over USB.
If you access it over USB, you will see the MOTD, that will tell you about what you need to do.
Your other choice is to read the directions.

You write that your using a Kindle Voyage.
Which is an e-ink device.

That means your making some wrong assumptions.

That the display has to be refreshed (and hence the image data must be always taking up memory space).
It does not have to be refreshed, it does not even need power to display what was last written to it.

Second, the memory space that it does take up during the time it is being written is the frame buffer.
That memory is assigned permanently to the kernel, it is not part of the assignable memory space.

Your best choice for what you say you are doing is to enable swap in these conditions.

Your second best choice is to disable the framework task, as was suggested above.

You can do both if you wish.
