KPW: weird behavior when charging
Hi!
My Kindle Paperwhite arrived Monday through the hands of a friend that went to USA for work. With my Kindle Touch I don't have any problems, but I realized that when the PW is charging (through a wall charger), it presents a weird behavior. For example, the "Home" becomes unresponsive... Anybody experienced the same? |

Sort of. Last night I put my PW on to charge and was reading. When I went to change the page a window opened with font sizes and it would pick a different sized font seemingly at random. I tapped for the menu and changed the font size. I tapped to back up one page and got a new font. size. I swiped to change page and got a new font size. I did a hard reset and the problem persisted.
Then today I plugged in my PW to see if it would do it again and, it didn't. |

I've seen similar reports on various devices with touchscreens such as Nooks, Android phones, etc. Some have attributed it to ground (earth) problems. In some cases, trying a different cable, adapter or outlet resolved the issue.

It's issues like this which is why I always recommend getting a charger that's certified. In the US, it would be UL Listed. These cheap Chinese chargers are untrustworthy. They could actually damage your device.
