Kindle 10 Battery Drains Quickly

If the battery of your Kindle 10 drains more quickly than expected, follow this troubleshooting guide.

The Kindle is stuck indexing a book in the background. To check if this is the problem:

1. Go to the Library and search for a word and tap on “Search Everywhere.”
2. Look at Words in Books (number) - if it's grayed out and the number is 0, you're OK. If it's black and indicated books not indexed, tap on it and see which books are the offenders

1. Tap the home button,
2. Tap the 3 dots icon in the upper right-hand corner.
3. Tap settings and proceed to device options.

Having more free space in your Kindle may help its battery drain slower. To free up space tap the library icon on the bottom right of your screen, the tap and hold the book you would like to uninstall. Then select, “remove from device”
