When your Kindle freezes up, it's natural to have a moment of panic. I mean...what's going on? My advice...take a deep breath and relax. It is likely fixable.
You should try a soft reset or a hard reset:
The soft reset is to press the Alt-Shift-R keys at the same time.
For a hard reset, take the cover off the back and insert a paperclip in the little hole. Hold for 10 seconds.
You may need to try again with the Kindle plugged into the charger.
Kindles freeze for a variety of reasons. Most common seem to be: 1) letting the charge run too far down; and 2) pressing too many keys too rapidly, causing the Kindle to become "confused."
Other reasons that folks have noticed for freezing?
