Kindle stuck

My Kindle Fire sometimes 'sticks' or freezes when I want to sweep to the next page, I have to keep at it and eventually it will 'take'. Other times it's fine and I sweep away page after page. Does anyone know why this happens?

Stansgran! My DS and DiL gave my 8-year-old GS and 10-year-old GD Android tablets on which books can be downloaded with the appropriate app. Cheaper and more versatile than the Fire and in the event of a glitch, geeky DS (and possibly even junior geek, GS!) can sort it out.

In fact it is a kindle fire and I have inadvertently solved it. What sort of idiot gives a 9 year old a kindle fire. Oh yes my Dd a d SIL...?..

Thank you Jo 7 I will try this .children and technology not quite working can be quite headachy

Have had a look and the Daily Motion is this Unless your GD has a kindle fire I can't see how this would be any good to her.

Also there is a book available on kindle with a similar name (came up when I did a search in the Kindle store). I have downloaded a free sample of that book and it looks fine. Does not interfere with my other books at all.

Can only suggest she goes to her home page and tries to find anything like it there, and then delete it.

Thank you Jo7

My battery is flat. Am charging it up so I can have a look and see if I can work out what's happening Stansgran

My granddaughters kindle has the line underneath her name filled with a website which obscures the first line of anything she is reading. How do I clear it please? The web site says daily motion and I he this is not a virus or anything.

I'd forgotten that one uses * for bold. Will try and get right in future.

Annobel I've just a tidy up too!

Glad to be able to oblige, Ganja . I have done the same.

[thanks] has changed to flowers in brackets Ganja x

Why don't my brackets work?

[Annobel] thank you [so] much. What would I do without Gransnet? someone always seem to have the answer. Marvellous to clear out all the ones I've read, though I did keep one or two of the really good ones in case I break a leg and get time to read them again![Thanks]

I've just got rid of dictionaries in many different languages, a dozen books I have read and wanted deleted, and generally tidied the whole thing up to my satisfaction. Now I'm happy

Sorted a lot of dross out for me too, Carol. I looked at some of the titles of books I had allegedly read and just thought, 'WHAT?'

Annobel you're a star! That's sorted it out for me - thank you!

If you want to delete a title from your archive, go to your Amazon account> Kindle record>Manage your Kindle> Your Kindle Library. On the right there is a button marked 'actions' click the button and choose the 'delete' option and this gets rid of the title for good.

If I try to do that on mine, nothing happens - it remains in the archives. Must find out if my son knows what's going on.

I've just removed a book from my kindle; click on the title then use the left arrow key.....Remove from device ...........and off it flies!

Haven't got it with me, but as I recall you click on the title with one of the direction keys and you get remove from my Kindle or something similar.

Me too, Ganja. It's irritating to have things piling up in the archive when you don't need them there. Any advice welcome.

What I would really like to be able to do is delete the books I have read. My archive is getting quite full already, and I'm not going to want to read them again. Does anyone know how to do this?

Mine hasn't given any problems [fingers crossed emoticom] but it is reassuring to know what to do if problems occur. My DIL's kindle failed - the screen was garbled and distorted, Amazon changed it (twice) without any problems

I think you'd have quite a job to lose all your books. Amazon are pretty good at backing them up. They were all there waiting for me on my new one.
