Kindle KeyBoard WiFi
This is about 2.5 yrs old. I recently purchased a new one. When I got it I decided to Divide my ebooks between them. I actually got this done a few weeks ago. Anyway Before I purched the new K3 the old one Refused to open any ebooks said it was Full. After I divided the ebooks things work OK BUT this afternoon I was adding ebooks to my Fire... Which has ALL my ebooks. I checked to see What Space they were taking up.....560 MB.
Questions 1. Doesn't this mean there was No Way the K3 should have been full to begin with? 2. What can I do to Fix it? Cause right now even tho I removed over half the ebooks on it, it still says I only have 481 MB Free Space left! 3. What ever you tell me to try PLEASE make the instruction in Baby Steps!! ![]() |

481 megabytes should hold quite a few books. No idea what is causing this. Did you try a restart?

Try a restart. If that doesn't work, usually a factory reset works.

Plug it in to a computer with a USB cable and look at the files. Sort by size ( use any file manager you have, the windows native one is fine for this)
See if any are really large. Audio files are huge compared to books. They will be in a different folder to documents. Delete them....... Or copy them to the computer if you want to lsten to them again. Also look for any garbage files, and anything created on a disk scan. |

Look for strange extensions, But mainly files called file001.chk (or fileanynumber.chk) look for very large files. Look for audio files. Look to see if there is a folder called Found. Maybe ask on a computer forum if not sure.
