Well, do you know what? I emailed Amazon I was satisfied with my Kindle except for the browserperformance--they answered to download the latest software download and gave me a link. Allright; I downloaded but my Kindle wouldn't take to it. So I mailed Amazon about that.
In the meantime I kept trying to get that download; but still the notificationarea on the Kindle remained gray.
I asked someone to walk through the downloadinstructions with me. She asked me to read my Kindle nr + version. And behold: I had a different version from one hour ago (I checked it with my post at MR, in which I had given it). So in between my mail and my futile attempts to get the download installed, Amazon had already pushed me the new version.
I must say I felt a bit of a fool and also surprised. Lesson to learn: check your version very, very well/ and frrequently before attempting to download the latest software.
The times I live in.................

edit: browser is much more stable now and connectivity 3G also
