THANK YOU for walking me through this simple, but well hidden, task. I knew it was somewhere, but had no idea where to start looking.

I just got my new kindle. I charged it over night. Then unplugged it without first ejecting it. The screen looked like broken glass. i then plugged it back in and the screen said “If you want to use your Kindle and continue charging, please eject your Kindle from your computer”. I safely ejected it, but the “If you want to use your Kindle and continue charging, please eject your Kindle from your computer” message does not go away. i tried pressing different buttons to get it to do something, but it does not. How do I get off this screen?

I notice that in the booklet that comes with my Kindle, there’s a “tip” that tells me I can keep using it while I’m charging. Thanks to helpful people like you, I actually CAN keep using it while I’m charging.

Hi,
I was confused too. So I guess Kindle 3 will handle this differently. Thanks for the advice. Laurie at the end, finally provided me with the answer. Cheers

Thanks Jon. I have windows 7 and ejected it the other way and it did not work. I then unplugged the usb cord, plugged it back into my Kindle and was able to eject it via your method.

Eject – thanks fro the info – have gone through the steps and Kindle no longer shows in teh hardware list – BUT it still stays with the same screen – any ideas on how to get the kindle access without actually unplugging?
