Why is my kindle constantly restarting?

"I had the same issue with a Kindle Paperwhite where it would restart constantly. It would only allow me to open a book and as soon as I paged forward or backward it would restart. It would also restart/reboot when I attempted to select some of menu the settings. A couple of hard resets did not help and I could not get to the reset selection in the Settings menu before the Kindle would restart.

What finally worked was quite simple. I logged into my Amazon account on my computer and deregistered my device under ""Manage Your Content and Devices"". Your kindle should be connected to wi-fi for this to work. The kindle will then show up as Unregistered. I registered the Kindle again to my Amazon account and after that, the Kindle worked as it should - no restarting."

"Allan Mahoney, Try a hard reset. Hold the power button for 30 min. seconds, release the power button and give it a go. If still not functioning properly do a factory reset( all stored data/apps/etc. will be deleted). Link below will provide step by step instruction to factory reset.

Before factory reset: Purchased content through Amazon will remain linked to your account, can be re-downloaded. Other third-party e-books and apps need to be saved separate, by attaching your Kindle to your laptop by using a USB cord. You can click drag everything over to special folder in your downloads section of computer to save it. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

I tried a restart, reset nothing has worked exhausting

I disconnected mine from the amazon account and that worked for me! Even after connecting it again. :)

Mine was having the same problem. I just deregistered and reregistered but it did it again moments later. Like someone else above, it’s happening with a study Bible. Maybe it’s just too big?? I don’t know. Other books have worked fine.
