Big duh this morning when kindle locked up. It is my substitute "connection" to so much......big red line at bottom of screen that locked it up......back to factory reset which seems suspicious. All things tend to seem suspicious now days. Now reset...nearly except for connections to nonAmazon things. Reinstalling my frequently used comfort connections..... Proton......anonup......signal.....yep nothing to see here. Its okay....just inconvenient.... I can do this....
