Nice to meet you, *****!
Please do the following:
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.

Waited seconds?

Yes. I held the power button for at least 40 seconds

A frozen Kindle may be the result of a low battery. If you know that your Kindle is low on charge at the time it locks up, connect the device to a power source.

I have recharged the Kindle. The battery is definitely fully charged.

what is the next step?

author

the next step is :
Slide and hold the power switch until the light blinks. Release it and wait a couple seconds. Then do the same thing again. Your Kindle should reboot.

it looks as though it's rebooting.
