Kindle frozen already!
From a puzzled new member. I got my new Kindle, charged it fully, used it for about 7 hours off over 4 days on and off and then it froze on a page of text. The troubleshooter says put on charge again but I thought these devices were supposed to be good for a month at a time?

You need to restart your Kindle. Hold the off/on slider to the right for about 20 seconds then let go. You Kindle will restart. Then you should check into installing the latest firmware update.

I tried at the outset to re-start but it wouldn't. I had to re-charge for 30 minutes first. As it is brand-new, should it need a firmware update already?

Several people have had freezing issues that seem to have cleared up with the update.
I just checked the Kindle 3 Troubleshooting section and here are the instructions for clearing a frozen screen. Quote:
