About 6 months ago, it started acting sluggish and it would lock up on me, and I had to reboot the thing to get it to work again. Searches took too long or the thing would lock up. Take every book off of your Kindle and back it up on a hard drive. I have a 2 TB hard drive just for this purpose.

I can totally relate.<br /><br />I have a Kindle Keyboard from a couple of years ago that started to act up over the last few months. Refusing to open books, search, and giving me a white screen, which can only be equated to the blue screen of death on computers. It would take hours to reset and reboot to a workable level.

Then download all your Kindle books from the Kindle into a folder and pull them into Calibre. This might be best done in small batches, especially since Kindle files (annoyingly) seem to have numbers as the file name rather Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3394910946143126860.post-20067543823608586622013-10-19T17:53:27.824-04:002013-10-19T17:53:27.824-04:00That would drive me crazy!!

Trying to find YA books here in English is near impossible and the ones you do find are ridiculously expensive, so eBooks all the way. And trying to read on phone or comp is a pain in the ass.<br /><br />Nyx @<a href="http://unraveling-words.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Unraveling Words</a>Nyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294084313628336387noreply@blogger.com
