Troubleshooting Kindle Paperwhite 2 Losing Registration

elfed · 11-24-2015, 05:03 PM

My Paperwhite 2 keeps reverting to the previous owner after transferring books using Calibre. After the transfer of around 5 books I get a frozen white screen.

Sounds almost like the memory is failing, and changes aren't actually written to disk. Symptoms usually include books disappearing after a reboot.

Is the registration the only thing that keeps going back to the way it was?

And if the screen freezes and goes white, how do you know the registration changed?

There is no disk in a Kindle. It is memory, like a flash drive.

Thank you, Professor Pedant.

"written to disk" is a figure of speech.

I'm going to have to ask that you stop making insulting and rude comments.

You do not need to reply to this post. If you do, I will delete your posts.

Thank you for your understanding.
