Slow/No Downloads?

Got my K3 yesterday (Yeah! Love it...) and downloaded my current reading list. I also transferred my newspaper subscription to the new K3.

Today - no newspaper edition when I got up (it is usually there and ready). Also, I tried adding a couple more books from my archive, and they won't download. (Says "0%, pending" in the downloading items menu) I'm connected on wifi and can browse the web. I also tried using 3G instead of wifi with no luck.

So - it downloaded books fine yesterday and is obviously connecting to the internet fine. I'm thinking something is wrong on Amazon's side - servers too tied up?

Anyone else getting downloads now?

Worked for me on Kindle for Mac, so I doubt that Amazon's infrastructure is kaput. Checked on the iPod, that downloaded one OK too.

Finally had to do a hard reset - that got things "flowing" again. Wonder what caused that? Hope it is not a regular event...
