Mrs. Clause gave me a new K3 for Christmas. Thanks Sweetheart! I gave her one a few months ago for her birthday so we're a 2K3 family now and we love them.

I've run into what I think is a problem with mine though and I'm not certain what may be causing it. I've noticed that, many times, but certainly not all, the book I'm reading doesn't return to my last read position when I bring my K3 back out of sleep mode. It typically returns to the same spot every time but that spot is one I stopped reading at many reading sessions ago. It got so frequent that I started creating bookmarks before I put my K3 into sleep mode so that I could easily return my last read position.

Bookmarks are acting strangely as well. Once I start reading again, I delete my previous bookmark and create a new one when I'm ready to stop reading for a while. When I bring my K3 back out of sleep mode again, the old bookmark is still there and that's where my book returns. I look at my marks and my new mark is there but the old one that I deleted in my last session is back and that's where my reading starts. After the first time I wondered if I'd maybe just thought I'd deleted my older bookmark so I started paying extra special attention. I know I'm deleting them now and this is happening almost every single time I start up my K3.

All of this "forgetfulness" is really starting to annoy me.

Also, since I started using it Christmas Day, my K3 has rebooted twice when I tried to start it up.

Has anyone else ever noticed any similar behavior? Is this K3 newbie behavior and maybe I'm just not doing something right? It seems really strange.

Also, I might mention that my wife and I both have the Amazon non-lighted leather covers. I've heard rumors of this cover causing some problems but I haven't read up on them yet. I do know that my wife has had hers in the cover for a couple of months and hasn't noticed any problems whatsoever. I'm just curious if my problems could be related.

Anyway, I love my K3 but these bookmark/startup issues are really starting to sour me. I would appreciate any assistance anyone may be able to provide.

Thanks in advance and I wish everyone a very happy and fruitful new year.
