My Kindle was working perfectly...so I was loathe to update the firmware.

But after the update it worked fine last night (read half a book in bed). But this afternoon I took it outside and about after 10 minutes the page refreshes started slowing down to a crawl and the mp3 I was listening to started to occasionally stutter.

Now mind you, it's not the first time I've taken my Kindle outside to read. That's one of the reasons I bought it. And while it was in sunlight, it was late afternoon sunlight, the sun maybe 30 degrees on the horizon (and the temperature outside is in the mid 70s).

I do a restart and it seems to be better for a few minutes, then it happens again. So I put it back inside and go for a walk for half an hour and come back. At least in the few minutes I've read on it inside, seems to be working fine.
