Kindle Voyage Flex / Noise With PagePress
I just got a Voyage (an Amazon refurb). In a quiet room, I notice that there's a slight flex when I press the PagePress strip on the right hand side (doesn't happen on the left side). It's pretty subtle - I actually don't notice it if there's any ambient noise, and I can't really detect the movement of the top/screen against the rear/bezel in my hands.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? Thanks for your replies.

You're probably pressing the haptic feedback buttons.

As long as you don't get electrocuted, you should enjoy your book.

Thank you - I am pressing the PagePress strip (is that what you mean by the feedback buttons?), but it's not the haptic feedback. It's as if the right side didn't get glued down correctly.

FWIW, there is faint noise from *every* model of Kindle when the page turns: at least, I've heard it on K4, PW1, and Oasis, and I have no reason to doubt that it's intrinsic to every model.

It might be an effect of shifting power loads during the pulse of electrical field activity needed to drag the e-ink capsules into new positions.

This is different, I think. It doesn't happen using the touchscreen to turn pages, and the left and right sides are clearly different. You can see a slight compression of the edge of the screen against the bezel on the RH side. The LH is completely solid.

Yes, please post an image - following our Posting Guidelines, of course - and let us see what the issue is.

It sounds like one side is defective, for whatever reason.

If you bought it at Amazon you could return it for another refurb Voyage. They are guaranteed for one year since purchase date. I would try that ,if it's not glued properly. Even if it just looks different than the other side. Somethings not right.

Will do tomorrow. You really can't see much. The issue seems to be that that side isn't glued together well, or perhaps the slide-on bezel is a slightly looser fit on that side. It's pretty subtle.

Get it replaced now rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
