Kindle 3: Can't put book in "read" folder anymore

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 11:38:24 -0700

I have many folders on my Kindle K3 ereader including a "read" folder to put books in after I read them. Lately, when I finish a book, the "transfer to folder" option is grayed out and I can't move the book into my "read" folder. Does any one know why and what I can do to get it back? I tried a hard restart with no results.

Kindle 5: Is it possible to expand the storage of a Kindle 5th gen?

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 08:00:05 -0700

I have a Kindle 5th generation that has 1,46 GB of internal storage. That isn't great because i have books as big as 20 MB, so I have to delete some books before to start any new one. For this reason I was wandering if it would be possible to expand the current storage of a Kindle 5th gen.

Thank you for your attention!

Kindle Voyage: Kindle Voyage charge port replacement

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 08:48:45 -0700

All the kindles seem to have custom charge ports but I'm not able to find a replacement for the Voyage.

Does anyone know if this exists somewhere as a more generic part? Or know of a repair shop that can successfully replace it - online or Chicago, IL? The ones I've called say they wouldn't be able to locate the part.

I'm considering buying a second Voyage for parts and having the ports swapped (this is about data recovery)

Kindle Fire: Screen unresponsive to touching

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:03:02 -0700

I quit using my Kindle Fire a few years ago, because the screen was going wacky. I’d try to turn a page forward on the book I was reading, and it turned a page BACK instead. (But TRYING to turn a page back worked!)

I got it out and I’m charging it. The time/date is still accurate, but swiping the lock screen does nothing. (EDIT: To be exact, it seems that the screen doesn’t register that I’m touching it. I can be touching it and the screen light will still shut off.) Any idea what’s wrong? Can it be fixed? P.s. I live in Japan, but this was bought from US Amazon.

Kindle Scribe: Wifi and Bluetooth not working

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 00:50:17 -0700

I had to reset my Kindle Scribe. It took a few attempts before my home's wireless networks appeared. I tried to reregister the device but it was so slow connecting it timed out at the very last stage, verification. After that no wifi network would show at all. I tried setting it up through my phone but the few times that worked the BT connection dropped out after a few seconds. The last dozen reboots neither wifi nor BT seem to be working. I suspect there is something wrong with the internal aerial. Any suggestions?

I got the tablet from a friend who told me it didn’t charge. “No problem,” I thought, so I ordered a new battery, which was charged, so I thought I could let the tablet die overnight. Well, I did, and now it’s not charging again. Now what?

Kindle Paperwhite 2nd Generation: Wifi - connects but immediately drops connection

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:51:40 -0700

In settings -> wireless -> wi-fi networks -> choose my wlan and enter the password:

Kindle connects but drops the connection in about 10 seconds.

Notes:

local library OK; date & time correct; all functions appear OK except wi-fi connectivity
no error message
no error report in the router log
other devices on the same wlan have no issues
- called Amazon support
on instruction from Amazon support, did a factory reset - didn't fix the problem
tried connection to a hot-spot using my mobile phone - same result

Guess I'll have to buy a new one? Would like to troubleshoot it myself though. Any help/guidance appreciated - Steve
