When I got my Kindle 3G+Wifi a little over a month ago I didn't notice any rattling. But today, I picked it up and it sounded like I was playing the shaker in a band.

I opened my baby up and I found not one, not two, but three loose screws! There was also another unoccupied hole where a phantom fourth screw would have belonged. I think my Kindle was certainly made on a Friday just before closing time.

I put the three screws I found back and tightened them as tight as I could. It certainly sounds like either a design flaw or a some finger trouble at the factory. But, for now my Kindle is as good as new!
