They are logging all complaints very carefully to determine if it's indeed a manufacturing defect, so far the only solution they can offer is the replacement. But because PW is in such demand, the delivery of the replacement unit is ETA'd to the last week of October. There is a big chance the problem could be fixed by then. In the meantime you get to keep your PW for 30 days or even more before the new one arrives. Just mention that you've already given away your previous Kindle (if you had one). Win-win.
