Update to Kindle3 reduces freezes
I said in a previous post that the latest firmware update to the Kindle 3 (Keyboard) hadn't made any noticeable difference apart from opening the wrong foreign language dictionary if I try to look up a word using Highlight, Spacebar, Dictionary. But i was wrong.
I realise that my Kindle now hardly ever freezes when I highlight or annotate; previously I could count on it doing so at least every third highlight and I would have to wait 3 mins until it switched itself off before I could use it again. Now, although it does happen infrequently, it is very rare. I guess that's a fair tradeoff for the dictionary problem. |

Freezing when highlighting is a sure sign that your clippings file is getting too big. Copy your clippings file to your PC, then delete it from the Kindle. You'll find that highlighting will become instantaneous again.
