Kindle DX restarts when connected to PC

DesiLinguist · 06-11-2009, 10:46 PM

Hi All,

I have just had the DX for a day now and I noticed that one of the times that I connected the DX to my iMac, the kindle just rebooted on its own without giving any error ... just said "please wait while your kindle restarts". I am not sure what happened there. However, it booted back up and then worked just fine. Has this ever happened with anyone on any of the Kindles (1, 2 or DX)? Any idea if something is wrong with the Kindle or if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks.

I had the same problem today when I unplugged the Kindle DX from the USB and then quickly plugged it back in again. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but it's obviously a little touchy!

Thanks for the assurance, sirbruce! That makes me feel better.
