Further to screwball's skeptical comments: my K3 in an unlit Amazon cover was working perfectly well until about a week ago, when it started showing the same sort of symptoms described by others here. Before contacting Amazon, I came on line and read about the potential unlit cover issue. I took the cover off, and my K3 started working perfectly, with no crashes for 2 days. I have since tried putting the cover back on twice, and every time it has started to freeze up within 30 minutes. These later times, I have been using the Kindle in my office at a desk - not exactly jogging around!! I feel that pretty definitively identifies what is causing the problem, and belies what to me appears to be somewhat uninformed comment by screwball.
As for the plastic/metal hinge question - there is no doubt that the hinges on my Kindle are metal.
