Mine doesn't rattle but after I took it to Church it started to do repetitive resets until I allowed to rest flat on a table for half an hour.

It appears it is sensitive to motion. I also have a WiFi. When I had it in motion, it was vertical in my jacket pocket. Horizontal position at rest seemed to end the problem.

Amazon is sending me a replacement to be here on Wednesday, Sep 8, 2010.

I hope the new one doesn't have the same problem. I was bragging about it in Church but lost all the effect when it kept resetting.

From this thread it appears ALL the first shipments of WiFi's had this problem.

My Serial Number starts with: B008A0A003

My Software version is: Kindle 3.0 (515460094)

Please post the first 7 digits of your serial numbers and software versions. It may connect a lot of dots.
