I'm on my second wifi-only K3, and Amazon is shipping me a third tomorrow. With the first two, I had problems where the Kindle would frequently reboot for no apparent reason - sometimes even while I was reading. Amazon already sent me one replacement Kindle, and the problem seems worse on Kindle No. 2.

I was just googling the issue and saw someone complaining about a similar problem -- but they think it's somehow connected to the hinges on the official Amazon case. And come to think of it, I had my Kindle for two weeks before the case arrived, and didn't have a problem -- it was only after I started using the case that the problem started.

Is there any way the case could cause this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it? If I still have the problem with Kindle No. 3, perhaps I'll see if Amazon will let me return the case.

Anyone else see something like this?

Edit: As I was typing this post, my Kindle rebooted yet again. ARGH!
