Kindle Dx Keeps Freezing, Keeps Disabling Reading Tools

(I don't know whether to ask this here, or in the developer's corner. It involves the device, and five different software tools for it.)

I have a used Kindle Dx.

It freezes a few times each day. It goes completely unresponsive. Since I can't get to the menu to restart from the menu, I have to hold the power switch for 40-odd seconds to restart that way.

It disables the reading tools I've installed a few times each day too, especially after restarting.

I have installed Launchpad, Kual, KindlePdfViewer, and Librerator on it.

I haven't been able to start KindlePdfViewer. It shows up in Kual, but doesn't open when I select it in Kual. I can't manage the key combo. I could try uninstalling and/or reinstalling.

I have sometimes been able to start Librerator. It doesn't show up in Kual. I can usually manage the key combo. Sometimes that starts Librerator, sometimes that yields a message saying "Success!" but doesn't start Librerator, and sometimes it yields "ll" in search. I have to either reinstall Librerator or Launchpad to fix these bugs, each day, sometimes a couple times each day.

I had previously used Duokan. It's possible that this has screwed up my Kindle.

It has two pry-holes on the left side, presumably from previous repairs. It doesn't have the original power adaptor. I have been using my computer and a 5v=2a Dell power adaptor. It's possible that there're problems with the usb connection and/or the battery.

It keeps claiming to be connected to the computer after I've unmounted the disk on the computer. That may be normal.

It runs from 100% power to 80% power in a couple hours, with wifi off. That may be normal.

Any idea what could be going on or how to get the Kindle to stop freezing and stop disabling reading tools?
