The paperwhite boots fine, but immediately drops the the lock screen (without the "swipe to unlock" that's standard). Usually I plug it into the wall, but for some reason, it's now hosed.

I plugged my stock PW running 5.3.1 into my Mac today, and it bricked it. Since it's already dumped my downloaded eBooks, and isn't reading its own Settings, I probably don't have much to lose in doing a factory reset. Evidently Amazon isn't seeing it properly, either. The post-purchase page on Amazon reminded me to make sure my device was logged in and connected. This is the original, persistent issue which I was enduring before the freeze-on-boot. The title would appear on the screen briefly, then disappear again.

I bought an ebook and Sent it to that device, which then tried four times to download it, unsuccessfully. It came back to life showing only the Kindle User Guide (no ebooks) and saying I need to register and connect to WiFi, despite "Clytie's Kindle" and a strong WiFi signal being in the top status bar, and despite its own Settings showing I am logged in and connected. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be reading its own Settings.

Despite the battery being close to full when the stuck-on-boot issue occurred, leaving the device plugged in overnight did sort of bring it back to life. I think my KP is suffering from some kind of dissociation syndrome. (Grumpy P.S.: none of my previous ereading devices, from my Handspring Visor to my current iPad2, have ever given me this sort of trouble. Meanwhile, your suggestions are most welcome. I can let the dratted device run down and hope something changes, but that will take a while. I have no WiFi issues (home network, good signal). This isn't surprising, since it hasn't loaded its software, but I thought it was worth a try. I tried plugging the KP in, but the USB screen did not come up, nor did the KP show as a USB drive. I can hold the power button down for several minutes, and the KP will just grey out briefly and/or get stuck on the boot screen again. It's been stuck there for over half an hour.įorced-restarting doesn't work. However, today when this issue occurred again, I chose Restart from Settings, and my KP got stuck on the boot screen (tree icon and rotating progress indicator). This was annoying, but didn't happen often enough to drive me to public complaint, although I planned to consult my retailer about it if it persisted. Requesting it download again has no effect. It doesn't show up in the Cloud, because Amazon assumes it has downloaded. Every now and then, a just-purchased-on-Kindle ebook will fail to download. Its only eccentricity has been an occasional strange reluctance to download content. I received my KP a while back, and it has mostly worked well.
