It is a very low noise and I only notice it with a very silent background... But, once noticed, it is quite disturbing and distract me from my reading : (

Any idea about this problem ?
Does not look normal to me. And I am very picky with noises as well. I would return it if you find it annoying.

That's why I bought my Kindle on a brick store. I know Amazon support is superb! But a brick store gives you the advantage of return it or change it even 2 or 3 times without waiting for shipping or dealing with Amazon directly; sometimes Amazon believes you're just playing around after several returns in a row.
