You Can Do THAT with a KIndle Touch?

Step 15: When things go wrong and a conclusion

Hold the power button continuously for 20 seconds or more and the Kindle resets itself. A reset takes a few minutes. Afterward, the clock will display an incorrect time. Connect to the WiFi and that will correct itself. The calendar may also need the opportunity to connect so it displays the correct current date. The photo shows the Kindle screen display during a reset. Notice the black and white progress bar.

If the Kindle or a feature on it becomes "confused," I sometimes turn it "off" and turn it back "on" after waiting a minute or so.

All in all, had I known I could do much more than read books with an e-Reader, I probably would have investigated getting one much earlier. They are relatively small, very light in weight, versatile, and not very expensive (especially since there is no monthly fee or data plan to buy.) And, people now always know what to buy me for gifts, namely, an Amazon gift card for Kindle e-books.
