Last weekend during our vacation camping along the Loire, while I was reading and flipping a page on my Kindle it somehow got stuck on the cover page. It seemed to be still on (backlights working), but didn’t respond to anything I did, nor to a reset. As the battery drained sometime after, it looked like the photo shows.
The book I was reading, upon David Weinberger’s advice, was Cheap Complex Devices by John Sundman. I was deep enough into the novella that I can’t somehow shake the notion that the book itself has had an influence on this Kindle flop. Or maybe it was the humidity after a rainy day on the campground, with gallons of….
RESET.

A new device should be delivered tomorrow.
No, the book has been designed with semantic harmonics that has snow-crashed 80% of the Kindles that have tried to run it. I probably should have mentioned that. Totally worth it!
(I’m glad you’re liking the book. I sort of love it.)
Sorry about that. I can’t seem to control the damn thing.

Thank you both for comments that show how the open web is meant to be.
The ebook Cheap Complex Devices can be had in exchange for signing up for my newsletter. I would appreciate you spreading the word.
