Kindle freezing

My 8 month old Kindle froze last week. Was ready to dash back to Dick Smith with the extended warranty until talking to someone who tells me it happens often. There is supposed to be a reset button - cant find it, but in the meantime mine had run the battery totally flat so in effect 'reset' itself yesterday when I went to try to sort it out - and is all up and running again.

Google 'Kindle freeze' if you have a problem with yours.

There would be lots of sparks if you put it in the microwave

I had to update both of ours a couple of months after we bought them, some glitch in the software. they are ok now
