: Re: Two kindles bricked, can there be a common cause? I used to have a Kindle 3 (keyboard). After almost 3 years of honourable service, it started getting stuck more and more, until reset wasn't

I have a kindle keyboard, and was having similar problems with freezing getting more and more common. I had about 700 different works on it, but it reported it still had lots of room left on the drive. At that time I was getting works from Amazon, Project Gutenberg, Wikisource, and few random places pointed out by Internet Archive. (No pirated works)

I removed nearly all the books from the kindle keyboard. Leaving a few reference books and a dozen or so in my going to read soon file. I now keep my "library" organized on Calibre (backup to an external hard drive). This has solved the problem, except for when I turn on the wireless (see related question).

I also purchased a paper white and I have never had more then a couple dozen books on it at a time, though I have had several hundred in and out of it. The wireless is on 24/7 and I have not had an issue.

In the end, if it was the something about one or two of the books, or just the volume of books stored on the kindle, removing most of the books solved the issue for me.
