At the Amazon site for the K3 WiFi 78% (4 to 5 stars) love their new eReaders and had no problems.

Only 22% (1 to 3 stars) have some problem or don't like the Kindle WiFi 3.

My new unit arrives tomorrow. I just hope it comes loaded with the new firmware. I hear the new firmware has eliminated the reset and freezing problems.

In any event I have a 78% chance the new one will have no problems.

I did have at least 6 spontaneous reset problems on the old unit before I took it to Church after which every start had that problem until I got it home and let it rest for half an hour.
