that is NOT caused by your activities, though I get how it can seem that way.
one way to put your mind at rest could be to perform all the same activities on the replacement kindle, when it arrives [ you have nothing to lose because if u do manage to brick it, you can send it straight back And say to me nah nah told you so... "  ]
the worst you should be able to do by feeding it poor quality data is to confuse the indexing process, but a factory reset would have fixed that. |
I know, it is probably a coincidence but, it just is difficult for me not to link the kfx sideloading with the device dying.
I also noticed on one of the last times I was able to check the settings that the device storage quantity was all messed up, it said something ridiculous like 42 MB out of 450 MB remaining - I.e. nothing resembling the expected amount. Or maybe the kfx packages took up such a lot of space they killed my kindle?
Annoyingly, the replacement is a refurbished one...
I will definitely NOT be trying this when my new Oasis arrives.
