Disconnect the Kindle from its power source. Kindle reading devices often are powered via a micro-USB cable plugged into the machine on one end and a wall power outlet on the other end. Pull out the micro-USB cord and hold the Kindle in your hands.

Slide the power button to the right and hold. This button is located on top of the Kindle beside the headphone jack. Amazon.com's diagram shows the power button on the diagram labeled "Top View" here. Place one finger on the power button, slide it toward the right and hold it for 15 seconds. Then, release the button, according to Amazon.com's Kindle Troubleshooting page.
