[QUOTE=vugtitan;1112492]should i cancel kindle order?

i ordered on 29/08/10

Amazon today gave me a date of 29/09/10 for my graphite 3g kingle and after viewing all the problems people are having,such as freezing,rebooting,slow page turns,creaking case,poor collection management,poor software i was wandering if i should cancel the order and then 2 weeks later order it again as i really don't want to go thru the pain of getting it,testing it,spending 12 hours putting books in ,it then dying or freezing or being faulty then having to return it and then having to return it to repeat it all over again.

any advice would be received with heartfelt gratitude.[/QUOTE

Just give it time, in the beginning, when you load a lot of books. It takes some battery and other time to index everything. But once it is done you'll be allright. Also there is an update 3.0.2 coming.
But it is the most stable ereader I've had so far. If it gets stuck, it reboots/resets, sometimes after several times, but then it's allright.
The weak point is the searchfunction if you've a lot of books, but on the forum they've some tricks for that.
