I've been reliably using my kindle PW2 ( FW 5.10.3 ) to read and play games (active content) before bed and on trips, I tried to use the new KFX format and added a few files to the PW2 with Calibre. I thought if it didn't work it would just be rejected and not respond.
initially, it seemed to work. i set it aside until i could get back to it. As i did I noticed the screensaver looked a bit funky. Later that day i tried to activate the device and nothing happened. i tried to plug it in to the power. after leaving it plugged in in fro a while i came back to it. I discovered it sometimes would activate the backlight in cyclical fashion. off and on and off and on etc,.
i would like to get back to working order. Any advice?
