How to Keep Kindle Keys From Fading

The fading on Kindle keys is caused by the keys picking up oils from your fingers. When you touch the buttons, the oil sticks to the letters and causes them to fade away. Using hand lotion makes the problem worse. You can restore your Kindle's buttons to their original brightness with a gentle cleaning.

• Dry cloth

1. Turn off your Kindle.

2. Wipe the keys with a damp cloth or disposable hand wipe.
