Kindle is a stable product. All
Kindles I have tried have never freezed or crashed.
If you want to reset/reboot/restart your Kindle 3 do the following:
- Remove your Kindle 3 from the power source if it's connected.
- Slide the power switch to the right and hold it there.
- Count to 15 as if you're counting seconds, and hold the switch in-place for 15 seconds.
- Then release the switch
- The screen will be blank for 30 seconds, and then your Kindle will restart/reboot.
