Is there any quick fix for this or should I contact Amazon right away? I hate to part with my Kindle. Besides, I live in Bangkok and it's going to cost me money and much time to get it fixed or replaced
I had this problem, and then the kindle "died" (turned off fully - blank screen and never turned back on). I sent mine back after it died and the replacement has a nice snappy "springy" switch.

If it's at all possible I'd suggest trying to contact Amazon (email should be free if you don't want to pay to call them). You can see what they recommend.
