I had four different freezes with my Kindle 3 in the last day.

1.) While viewing a description to a word at the bottom, I pressed the "Return"-Key and the Kindle 3 frooze. Took my a while to figure out, how to restart it (Hold the on/Off switch for a long long time)
2.) While scrolling through a page with the cursorpad, the Kindle frooze and restarted automatically. Unfortunately the last position was lost, so I had to browse through the book again, to continue reading.
3.) After reboot, I wanted to select my book in the home page and it frooze again.

I hope this is just a software problem, not a hardware one. Looks for me, as if there is a race condition between the update of the dictionary box and the cursor movement.

Anyone noticed that?
