Kindle Paperwhite.

So, my Kindle Paperwhite has been getting very warm after extended use. I've only begun to notice this yesterday, after I'd been reading on it for about five hours; not all at once, both times I put it down, it felt warm.

Is this normal? I got it less than two years ago.

Is it in a cover all the time? If yes, you could try removing the cover and see whether that helps.

If not, I suggest you contact Kindle's support (maybe it's still on warranty?)

Hi!
I saw it's a problem for kindle 3 Gen. Pretty normal anyway. After one hour of usage, it in fact gets warm.

I don't have a kindle paperwhite. I have an oasis and I think some heat is normal but the best bet would be contacting Amazon. They have a live chat option that I use primarily

I own a Paperwhite myself and sometimes facing the same issue. I guess that is sort of a manufacturing flaw. The other day Amazon refreshed the Paperwhite series so maybe I will get a new device.
