I'm still awaiting an indication from Amazon that my Aug14th ordered K3 is anywhere near despatch. However, that is not the cause of my growing concern.

What is starting to worry me is the surprising number of postings relating to either K3s with rattles, and/or K3s which keep freezing or crashing.

I may have been astonishingly lucky to date, but I have never once had my old Sony 505 or my current Sony 300 crash or freeze on me. Honestly, not once. (It was my own clumsiness which killed my 505).

I know that many of you who have received a K3 have either upgraded from previous Kindles or have used other makes of e-reader before. So, in truth, is the new K3 flakey?

I won't cancel my order, since Amazon have a wonderful returns policy if needed. However, should I now be rolling back on my initial excitement and getting prepared to be a tad disappointed?
