I have read that sliding the off/on button to the right and HOLDING IT FOR AT LEAST 15 SECONDS will reboot the Kindle, and you should have full functionality back. The "15 seconds or more" is important - otherwise you'll just be turning it off.

Mine locked up too.
I Just had the same experience as you did. (And I also purchased my Kindle 2 in March.) When I plugged it into the wall-socket however, it did recover to the extent that I could use it again. I then looked up trouble-shooting for the Kindle after the fact and found out that they recommend just what I did - that you should plug it in to make it recover. The only problem that is left is that I cannot get the home page to show the most recently used items first. I have to scroll to the last page to get them at the end of the line. I'm watching it carefully and if it doesn't completely return to normal I will then send it in for repair or for a new one. Otherwise, I LOVE my Kindle!

This happened to me with my NON-international version. When I travelled back to the U.S. and turned it on, everything was corrected. Don |

I've had this problem ever since I've had my Kindle, as I'm outside Whispernet range. It's a nuisance, but one that I can live with. |
