Hello guys!

I've received my K3 today at 11:30 local time. After opening it I've put to charge and it is doing it since then (about 3 hours)...

No green led yet, and it is hot. The charger is hot, but the kindle is hotter. Not enough to not be touchable but the temperature around left mid back is high. I've put without cover in a wood table and after that I've put it over its edges to allow air circulate...

I know some batteries raise its temperature while first charge, but I'm a little bit preoccupy abut the continuous high temperature...

Any repros?
