Troubleshooting Too many books?

Waylander · 01-01-2015, 04:40 AM

I loaded four more books onto my PW1 yesterday, bringing the number to around 914-915, with Ixtab's JBPatch and Collections Manager installed. Then, last night, I couldn't open any book, or access the settings, and got an "application error" message. After this, everything vanished from the home screen. I did a hard reset, and deleted the four books, and now it's working as normal. Was it too many books overwhelming the device, or something more sinister? Is my PW about to become a glowing brick of black plastic?

How much free space do you have on the Kindle's drive?

Something like 227 MB. Maybe one of the ebook files didn't agree with my PW? Sounds unlikely but it's the only thing I can think of.

That seems the most likely explanation. Try re-adding them one at a time.
