Just picked up the Shift3 Lookbook from Walmart. It is fully charged and we did the software upgrade so now we have access to newspapers and mags (yea!).
The problem we have is just plain turning it on. After pressing the power button, the Lookbook logo comes up - and sits there for 1 minute 15 seconds. Then the screen goes black (but you can tell it is still on) for another 12 seconds. Then the current reading list comes up. All I can say is that 1) no other electronic device I own takes 87 seconds to get started, and 2) I can pick up a physical book and start reading it in about 3 seconds.
Is this normal behavior? Do I have a bum copy?
Thanks for any help.
