I owe some of you apologies.

I read the reports of slow page turns in the sun and it sounded silly to me. I have had periodic slow down so I figured the sun thing must just be a coincidence.

I took my Kindle into the sun for the first time today. It is 73 degrees F outside. (I'm in Colorado, so the sun seems warmer than that.) Within 5 minutes the page turns slowed down - spending a long time on the inverse page. This is repeatable. Several minutes inside and the page turns speed up. Go back into the sun and they slow down.

I sent CS another email - we'll see what they say...
