Hi guys

I've had my k3 for 2 weeks.
I'm not getting a slowed down page turn as such ... it is delayed.

What I mean is that I'm not seeing the screen stay black longer sometimes than others ... what I am seeing is the k3 page turn not happen for perhaps 2-3 seconds after the button is pressed.

I have noted that if I have the smallest font ... regardless of typeface, the delay is the usual circa 1sec after button press. If I have any of the larger fonts and I have chosen condensed ... the delay is a lot longer ... perhaps 3 seconds ... and it's really annoying.

I tried a restart of reading this thread and in a few seconds of testing with different typefaces and fonts the speed is now consisitently circa 1 sec (although back page turns are definitely slightly slower than forward ones).

It will be interesting to see how long it takes for things to slow down again.

The kindle is on 3.02.

Cheers

Paul.
