My kindle HD does not hold charge

If your Kindle HD does not hold a charge, try a few troubleshooting steps. First, ensure the device is fully charged by using the original charger and cable. If it still won't hold a charge, restart the device. Check for any software updates and install them, as updates can solve battery issues. If the problem persists, consider performing a factory reset, but back up your data first. If none of these steps work, the battery may need replacement.

I think I have a Kindle Paperwhite. The page numbering and percent read (red) are no longer showing at the bottom of the screen. What to do? I'm afraid if I try to fix it myself I might screw up the Kindle.

To restore the page numbering and percent read on your Kindle Paperwhite, try adjusting the reading settings. Go to the menu (three dots on the top right), select "Settings," then "Reading Options," and check if "Page Numbers" is enabled. You can also restart your Kindle by holding down the power button until the device turns off and then turning it back on. These steps should help you get your reading progress back on the screen without causing any issues.
