Bricked Kindle Paperwhite. Help?

[nickasnack]

Hey guys,

I've been using my kindle for a year, but recently the system has been lagging and I thought a reboot would help set things straight.

But after reboot, the "Your kindle needs repair" screen came up, and stays that way no matter how many times I try to reboot.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? If not it's gonna be a very expensive paper weight...

Seriously it don't even qualify as a paper weight.

Hmm I appreciate the help. I've come across that post too, but it doens't work on a paperwhite.

"Installs a pristine 3.4 (K3), 4.1.1 (K4), or 5.1.2 (KT) firmware; other devices (K1, K2, KDX, Paperwhite) are not supported!"

About a year, but maybe it could just be me? Cause I installed a programme called Caliber. It's supposed to be non intrusive but... Who knows.

System just lagged suddenly, couldn't turn the pages without lagging too. THen reboot liao that message come up.

But seriously, buying a kindle was the best investment for me.

I bought for about 100+. From some hwz-er. Quite cheap. Brand new too. She had an extra set she didn't need. But serious, damn good investment.

Good la! If you really read a lot of books, and you're not so keen on buying them (ahem), then the kindle is so worth it. So portable, can take out anywhere and read. Hmm i'm sur eyou can find the correct format for kindle for your pdf books (ahem). But from my experience, still display quite well.

hahaha i thought the price device is as expensvie as purchasing about 6books in equivalent. i just did a research on ebook reader and found the kobo aura to be better in pdf format because my collections are in pdf for (ahem) obvious reason

sighz, it's expensive tho S$239 at ebookreadersingapore.com siol can't wait for US to have summer sales before i take money out from wallet, which hopefully is a good form of investment just like u

do let me know if you find kobo aura a bad choice to proceed
