How to Troubleshoot the Memory in a Kindle
Electronic books stored on your SD memory card are transferable to the first-generation Kindle device, which provides portable reading of e-books, PDF files and magazines. If your Kindle is unable to read the memory card, it may be corrupted, according to Amazon. A corrupted memory card can easily be damaged if it is removed from your Kindle or computer while a document stored on the card is opened or being used. Troubleshoot the card in your Kindle to determine whether it is corrupted or incorrectly inserted, which causes problems between the card and the Kindle.
