Is there a way to undo or remove updates from the Kindle 3. I want to restore my K3 to the way I received it day one.

When I got my K3 I had no pauses when turning the page. The page turns were really fast and I was very impressed. I never saw any black as the page refreshed itself. Once the 3.0.1 update was pushed thru my page turns slowed down to that of my K1 [side by side comparison]. When turning the page I could see an entire legible black page for at least one second. This screen shows itself even when bookmarking. Additionally, when selecting an item my K3 now shows a large black bar instead of the line being selected.

I upgraded to 3.0.2 but my page turns, while somewhat faster, are no where near what they were "pre-update", and all other issues still apply.

Anyone know how to back off the unwelcome updates? Thank you in advance for your help.
