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?
Me too (5 or 6 crashes so far, doing nothing in particular). Keep in mind that it is probably indexing your (all new) content in the background, which on K2 made the system a little fragile. At least that's what I'm hoping it is.
