How long does a Kindle have to charge before it turns on?

How do I know if my Kindle Touch is charging?
When charging your Kindle, make sure the Kindle’s charging light — located by the power button — shines yellow, the normal charging color. The light turns green when charging finishes. If your Kindle’s battery isn’t charging, the device will not power on.

Why is my Kindle screen not working?
Restart your Kindle to resolve intermittent issues such as a frozen screen or slow performance. Press and hold the power button until either a power dialog box appears or the screen goes blank. Continue holding the power button for 40 seconds, then release.
How do I get to the home screen on my Kindle?
You can always go directly to your Home screen by tapping the Home icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen. If the toolbar is not displayed, just tap in the top half-inch of the screen and it will appear.
Can I replace my Kindle screen?
Amazon has no option to send a Kindle in for repair and there are no authorized repair centers, so if you want to fix your Kindle it has to be a DIY project. If you’re tech savvy and like taking stuff apart and putting it back together again, then you can probably pull off replacing a Kindle’s screen.

What do you like most about the Kindle Touch?
Even though the display is monochrome, the KT delivers very crisp black and white images, and renders photos and images very well. I have tried out the Kindle Fire as well, but I still prefer the Kindle Touch due to E-Ink, which I think looks much better than backlit text, especially since I like to read for 4-5 hours at a time.
Does the Kindle Touch come with a power adapter?
The Kindle Touch contains a USB cable and no power adapter. Who is in charge of this ridiculous decision? It would not have cost Amazon more than $2 to include the adapter. If you have a previous generation Kindle, that adapter will work with this device.
What do you do with your old kindles?
