Kindle Paperwhite 3rd Generation: Why does my screen get stuck on a page when I’m reading?

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 01:41:21 -0700

I’m having trouble with my Kindle sometimes when I turn the page. The problem is that when I try to turn the page, the page won’t change, and I’ll try again a few times and it will either take a few minutes just to simply turn the page, or it will freeze completely and I’ll have to refresh my Kindle in the middle of my reading. Is there any way to fix this, or is my Kindle just slow?

Kindle Paperwhite 3rd Generation: Change font size in Kindle "Your Library" only.

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:08:05 -0700

Hello. I know how to change the font type and size when reading a book but I cannot figure out how to change font size in "Your Library"). I am not able to read titles without a magnifying glass and cannot find a place to change that font size.

Kindle Voyage: Attempt at reanimation after bad update

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:15:36 -0700

A couple of years ago I left wifi on my Voyage on overnight and it connected to the Amazon services, downloaded an updated and attempted to install it all by itself. However, the update progress stopped at around 15% and the whole device was basically bricked. When I try to reboot or reset it with the power button it always reboots into the update, starts installing it again and freezes again at 15%. When I try to connect it to the computer, the computer does not see it. When I wait for the battery to fully die and then connect it to the computer, the computer sees that there is a device connected, but I cannot do anything with it as there is no option to access the storage or mount it or anything of the sort.

I have attempted pretty much all hacks available on the internet and contacted Amazon support, who told me it's a corpse, gave me a 200 dollars for a new devices and I kinda accepted that Voyage is now a paperweight right next to the new paperwhite. However, I recently came across the idea of jailbreaking the kindle and thought I might try it with the Voyage and see if there is any way of reanimating it.

So what I want to ask, does anyone know if I can do some kind of full factory reset, even with a wipe? Or if there is clear cmos kind of button inside? I don't mind disassembling it if I could fix it. Maybe there is a way to bypass the OS on the device and directly connect memory storage to the computer or some kind of microcontroller programmer so I can manipulate files directly?

Kindle Touch: My power button does not work

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:39:38 -0700

Power button does not work, e-reader appears to work correctly once started via USB cable into a PC but no other method that I have seen put forward in various articles seems to work including multiple resets, pressing power button for 7, 15, 30 secs. disabling screensaver etc. Guessing this has to be a hardware problem, but if anyone had any other suggestions or options to try before I dismantle this great bit of kit, please let me know. Thanks

Kindle Paperwhite 3rd Generation: My Kindle Won't Leave the USB Screen

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 08:35:39 -0700

Before I begin, I think this is the edition of kindle paperwhite I have, but it may not be. I received this as a gift, years and years ago.

As you can see it's open the page it has when connected to a computer. This is because last night I uploaded a pdf. The connection wasn't very strong actually, so I know it didn't immediately get locked into this screen. Only when I finally got the cord to sit snug, and finished the upload, would it stay in this screen.

I've tried turning it off and on, and it does go to the correct off-screen, but it does not allow me to restart. When I hold down on the power button the light at the bottom blinks and then turns off after a few seconds. It does not open the power off/restart menu, and that's the primary problem. I suspect this issue would be cleared if it restarted, but the nature of the issue stops me from doing so.

If necessary, I could wait for it to run out of battery. That's the equivalent of a restart. I did just charge it to full though, and the battery on this thing is impressive, plus draining the battery has got to eat into the battery life somewhat. What would you do? Any suggestions?

I need to know how much does it cost to repair a screen as partial of it seems to be scratched out from the inside. A chunk of the mess up blocks 25% of the screen. Is it even possible to repair it.

Kindle Fire HD 8: Kindle fire not charging... I think its the charging port but unsure.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 16:16:19 -0700

I have a kindle tablet.

When I plug it in to a wall outlet, it shows a battery with one bar briefly then it fades away and no matter how long I keep it plugged I dont see any improvement.

When I plug in into a windows PC I get the connected sound then disconnected sound, again I see a battery with on bar show up briefly then nothing.

When its not plugged in, I test the voltage of the battery and I get 3.2v

Im thinking the port is broken.

What do you think?
