Problems with my Kindle

I get that now and then, when I’ve just ordered a book. It usually resolves itself quite quickly, and I find the book has downloaded anyway, but if not I turn it off completely for a few minutes and start again.

Mine (Paperwhite) must be 10 years old now, and I’ve got tons of stuff on it. I dare say I should go through and delete what I’m not going to read again, but then I do re-read quite a lot.

I'm noticing that I need to recharge mine more often. I wondered if the battery was failing. It's not that old.

Reset it, go to settings and do a soft reset, it wont delete anything.

Mine occasionally does that. It's over 10 years old now.
Just turn it off and shut it down, seems to be okay then when it reboots up . It's normally after I have downloaded a few books.

I've got an ancient Kindle (pre-Paperwhite) I can no longer download books to it directly via the Kindle store as Amazon has put a stop to this due the Kindle's age. I've got around the problem by having the app on both my ipad and mobile. I can then download books that way and they then automatically transfer to my Kindle. Although your problem is slightly different it may be worth downloading books via the app on your phone, tablet etc and it should automatically appear on your Kindle.Good luck, I hope it works.

Thank you for all your helpful suggestions. I shall try them when I get home.
Many thanks x
