A dead Kindle takes usually about 4 hours to charge. This applies to the most popular models like Amazon Kindle, Paperwhite and Oasis. But of course you shouldn’t make your battery completely die.
Moreover, can I use my Kindle when it’s charging?
According to Amazon.com, you can use the Kindle while it is charging — either while plugged into a wall outlet or into your computer. However, doing so may make the charging process less efficient. If at all possible, let your Kindle charge undisturbed, even if that means only charging for half an hour.
Consequently, how do I get my Kindle to charge faster?
1 Using a Power Adapter
The fastest way to charge your Kindle Fire is to connect your device to a power outlet with a micro-USB cable and a compatible micro-USB power adapter, which helps accelerate the charging process.
How do I know my Kindle is charging?
Charge your Kindle using the included power adapter. The indicator light on the power button will turn orange while charging and green when the battery is fully charged. Your device will continue charging even if you turn it off completely.
Should you turn Kindle off or put to sleep?
When turned off, the screen is blank. The Kindle Paperwhite uses its battery power only for page turns, so there’s no difference in battery usage between putting the device in Sleep mode and turning it off. In general, it’s best to simply put the device in Sleep mode instead of turning it off.
Why does Kindle take so long to charge?
Check Charger
It is possible that the reason why your device is slowly charging could be due to the fact that you have a faulty charger. If that is the case, then you will have to replace your charger with a newer working one. This should get your device to start charging normally again.
