I just was able to reboot/rest after holding for over a minute unplugged... here at the hotel and after reading your advice--but the screen didn't blank until just now while I'm writing thinking it wouldn't--a minute or two after releasing. FINALLY!!! Thanks y'all. Jim My K2 froze in airplane in the middle of a save highlight exercise.

I got a text-to-speech error message and snail's pace speed thereafter. I rebooted per Les Hayden and all is well!! Thank you, thank you.

They do not give you access to the battery or a reset button. However If you slide the power switch to the right and hold it there for 15 secs (or so) the screen will blank, and then you can power the Kindle back on. Alternatively, if you hold the switch for at least 30 seconds the Kindle will re-boot. The screen will blank, then flash, and finally you will see the words AmazonKindle and a progress bar as the Kindle restarts. Regards, Les The process for the Kindle two is different.

My kindle froze up at the gym last week. Rather than getting off my machine and searching around for a paperclip, I took my earring off for a few seconds, used the earring post/earring back to reset my kindle, and voila! All fixed. :-) Just in case you're caught in a jam again, remember your earrings! (or those of a wife/daughter/girlfriend)!
