My kindle has started to die, it keeps freezing and requires a reboot. Does anyone know of a solution, and yes I know there are probably better forums to ask this but here I know you speak the same language as me (Not geek).

I dropped my current reading matter today - it fell about 9 feet onto a hard, concrete, surface then bounced down a couple of steps... I was gutted!
Luckily the only damage was a couple of pages had their corners bent and there was a small tear in the dust cover!
Buy a flippin book - they are more robust than any flippin plastic and 'lectric reader!
If you join a library you can read almost unlimited numbers of books for free and the softwear is not only free but lasts your lifetime with no need for updates!
What do you already have?
epubs can be dropped straight into itunes making them readable on ipod touches & iphones. No doubt this is an option on Android phones as well.
There is also a kindle reader as a free download for iphones/ipod touches.

Amazon’s hugely successful range of Kindle e-readers has
revolutionised the world of books, giving readers access to a vast online
archive of over a million titles that they can download anywhere and anytime.
But that’s not much use when you can’t read them to the end. We’re constantly
hearing from Kindle owners, all complaining that these hand held reading devices
just keep losing the plot.
Consider the sad tale of romance fan Saskia Donnelly. Her husband gave her a
Kindle keyboard for her birthday in October 2010, but the love affair began to
turn sour when it stopped working after just 10 months. Because it was still
within the 12 month guarantee, Amazon replaced it for free, but the replacement
didn’t last long either, breaking in the same way after a further 11 months.
“I rang up Amazon and they said we’re really sorry but on your replacement
Kindle you only have a 90 day warranty.” Saskia explains.
Amazon offered her the chance to buy another replacement, but only if she
paid £50. But Saskia didn’t want to fork out for a third model in two years, so
she turned her back on the Kindle Keyboard and opted to buy the newer Kindle
Touch – at a cost of £109.
Saskia’s story is one that we’re hearing time and time again. The screen on
the Kindle freezes, leaving you unable to turn the pages of the book you’re
already reading, or to gain access to the other books you’ve downloaded on the
device.
Whilst Amazon do provide a free replacement within your first 12 months, the
warranty on replacement devices outside that first year is just three months. So
if you find your Kindle breaks after that, you’ll have to pay
