Near full storage plus big files can make these readers choke while they index. Try freeing a lot more space than a few books so at least a good chunk of the storage is empty. Clear out old samples and periodicals, archived downloads, screenshots, extra dictionaries, and check if there is a trash or archive folder that still holds deleted items. Do a long power hold restart rather than a quick reboot, then leave it plugged in and idle on Wi‑Fi for a while so indexing can finish but then took a night. Once it settles, switch to airplane mode during commutes to stop background sync from stealing resources. If freezes happen mostly with image heavy PDFs or giant omnibus files, convert them on a computer to a lighter format or split them into smaller parts, and reduce image resolution. Re download any book that crashes repeatedly in case it is corrupted. Test with a small novel to confirm the device itself is stable. In settings, turn off any animated page transitions, keep fonts simple, reduce brightness, and disable extra features that build vocab lists or reading stats. Keeping the home screen tidy with fewer items shown can help too since huge libraries on the main view can slow things down.

Hey Milan! Extra wipes and a first-aid kit, because kids turn every drive into a disaster zone. Jumper cables saved us once when the battery died at soccer practice. Keep water bottles too - no fluff, just essentials.
