The thing about internet message boards is that they can really skew perceptions. When people have a problem with their products they post. When their products are working as intended, they are silent.

I mean, it would be really boring if I logged on here every morning and posted:

I used my Kindle in the sun yesterday and had no problem!

or

I just picked my Kindle up, and nothing rattled!

So it is really hard to say just from what you see on the boards how prevalent the problems being posted are across the globe. I have a K3 and haven't experienced problems, I personally know several people in town who have K3s and they haven't told me of any problems.

So if you want my opinion on whether to cancel I'd say - nah. Roll the dice and be optimistic that you'll get a good one. And if not, then depend on Amazon CS to make it right. But it is really up to you.
