Fix 1: Delete Corrupted Books
If you have transferred books from third-party sources to your Kindle reader and any of them are corrupted, they may cause issues with your Kindle. However, books purchased from the official Kindle store will not cause such issues since they are optimized for the device.
Step 1: Connect your Kindle reader with the USB cable to your PC or Mac. Open the Kindle folder on your PC.
Step 2: Tap on Documents .
Step 3: This will display all your third-party books. Try deleting the ones you recently added, which may be responsible for your frozen Kindle screen.
