Yes, you're right, I meant by extension the flash memory.
Anyway, despite what you think, I'm not an inexperienced geek. I'm a computer engineer and I can say that Amazon Kindle is the worst electronic device that I ever had (I received it as a gift). It is completely closed, its software has countless bugs, its pdf reader is quite unusable and its cost is high. How much is stupid a device in which system directory is the same partition of the user directories? And why there is no way to enter the boot menu? And why can't I turn it off definitely and I can only reboot it? And why there are no buttons but one?
However I thank you for your help  |
I can only base my replies on what you post.
Your device has expired, if it is still under warranty, exchange it.
Otherwise, throw it away, and never buy or accept the gift of a Kindle again.
What you describe is the normal description of anything which has failed -
It was working before and it is not working now.
Everything quits at sometime, you are only describing the case before vs the case after.
"

You are wrong, that is not so.
"

You are wrong, that is not so.
"

You are wrong, that is not so.
And since you know that you let it continue to run internally when you are not using it, you know an electronic device can fail at anytime, but more likely when it is running, then you have answered your own question.
I.E: If you are actively using it is not relevant to when it fails, only what it is doing is relevant.
Hmm...
Seems like you are now only venting, not trying to solve a problem.
