Yeah, it was nuts! I was in a PDF format book in class. I tried to change orientation to wide, nothing. Went back to tall, nothing changed. Couldn't change pages. None of the buttons seemed to do anything.
The professor kept talking.
I tried to use the power button to go to sleep mode. Nothing.
The professor kept talking, class went on.
I held the power button to power it off, didn't seem to do anything. (hold power button for more than 5 seconds to turn off). No response. Repeated for longer, and it turned off.
And the professor kept on going.
Ok, now it wasn't turning on......
The class kept going, looking at different pages of the poem....
I held the power button in the "on" position and it turned on. The screen that appeared was the kid under the tree with the Amazon logo, I saw this once when I took it out of the box. It went to the normal screen and said I had zero books. I switched to documents, no documents. Ok, well, at least I can reload them from my Mac later. Then it did a screen refresh and my files all came back.
Total time I was distracted and F'd in class? 5 to 8 minutes.

Yes, when your cache is full (memory) sometimes it will reboot, which is not a good thing :-)
ReplyDeleteIt clears the cache. And then your next session can go a lot longer. Some PDFs with heavy images in complex layouts will cause crashes, maybe 3% or so of mine. If I think I will want to do a lot and prefer to have a cleared cache I can do that ahead of time with menu-button/settings/menu-button "Restart" which will 'reboot' it and clear memory.
But I almost never do it. Their latest maintenance fix v2.3.3 (I just did a blog entry on it the other day) may minimize this happening.
Thanks, I didn't know that was there. I'll have to try that as an occasional thing. Thanks.
