Awesome! Although I'm sorry that it had to come to that for a replacement. If only your previous K3 could have found it's way back to the rightful owner.

Very cool ending to the story, though it still must sting that your original Kindle was lost - stolen apparently - in the first place.

I've got a new Kindle to replace the one that got stolen, but unfortunately it doesn't work all that well. Apparently there is a fault associated with the non-lighted cover.

Congrats on the new Kindle and I'm glad you didn't have to suffer for too long without a reading device.

I read about this issue here, maybe you'll find that thread useful.

yes, there is. Amazon is replacing them for free PLUS giving a credit to purchase a new one

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your new Kindle. Take it out of the cover and it should work fine. There is indeed a known problem with the non-lighted Amazon Kindle cover and Amazon has acknowledged it. The Amazon cover without the light causes the Kindle 3 to freeze and spontaneously reboot, possibly due to a problem with static electricity build up or .....? from the hooks that hold the cover onto the Kindle. Call Amazon's Kindle CS; they are either refunding the money for the cover or, for some folks, they have actually sent a lighted cover to replace the problematic non-lighted cover.

I called Amazon and they gave me a refund on the cover and a £21 credit as well, so I spent the total on a satisfactory lighted cover. I don't really need the light, but I do need a cover that doesn't gum up the works.
