Charge Kindle and read at the same time - how it works
You can also charge your Kindle while reading a book. We explain how to do this.
Read on Kindle and charge it at the same time
Many users charge their Kindle on their PC, but there may be a problem with it:
- As soon as you connect your Kindle to the PC, the device switches to USB mode for data transfer and you cannot use the reader during this time.
- In this case you will get the screen on the photo. The text says you should disconnect Kindle from the computer. However, this does not mean that you have to pull out the USB cable again and interrupt the charging process.
- All you have to do is eject your Kindle in Explorer or the taskbar.
- In some cases, chargers may put the Kindle in USB mode. In this case, only changing to a different charger helps. A suitable charger charges your Kindle normally in the background while you can read.
- All information has been tested with a second generation Kindle Paperwhite with firmware 5.8.5.0.2. There may be deviations in other versions.
