[Kindle Touch] Hangs when browsing library

RolandD · 01-02-2012, 04:13 AM

My touch has been hanging up as I try to flip through the library. When I did a soft reset I suddenly had 0 titles in my library even though Calibre and Windows showed them all there. Did a hard reset and am going to reload all the books through Calibre.

Good idea. Sounds as though there was a corrupt file which was preventing the building of the library HTML page.

Ok, here is what it was doing. As I would swipe through the library, it would hang up on certain pages. After a minute, or so, it would finally display that page of the library, but one or more of the entries on that page would be blank. I got the same behavior if I tried to go directly to that page.

After resetting to factory conditions, I began reloading books. I shortened any long titles, and reconverted all the books to .mobi sans the pdoc tag. (Not sure if that matters to the Touch, but I thought it couldn't hurt.)

Now I can swipe through the entire library.
