Kindle Charging Light Meaning: Every Color Explained

Your Kindle has a tiny light on its bottom edge, near the USB-C port. It's there to tell you about charging, and it works the same way on the Kindle, Paperwhite and Colorsoft. Here's what each one means.

What the light means

Light	What it means
Amber	It's charging. On a Paperwhite Signature Edition, it also comes on when the Kindle is lined up right on a wireless charger.
Green	The battery is fully charged.
No light while plugged in	It isn't charging. Check that the USB-C cable is pushed all the way in at both ends.
Amber, blinks 4 times	You're holding the Power button to force a restart. You can let go now, and the Kindle restarts.

If the light doesn't come on

Push the USB-C cable all the way into your Kindle and into the charger or computer. If it still won't charge, try another USB port or power outlet. Low-powered USB ports, like the ones on some keyboards and older computers, can't charge a Kindle.
