BUT - I do notice that the left hand page forward button seems a little loose and not as firm as the other 3 page turn buttons. Nothing drastic - seems almost 'picky', but there's a difference in the way it feels. It still turns the pages properly, but instead of feeling firm and solid to the touch, it just wobbles around a bit in the casing.
I'm trying to figure out if I should exchange the K3 while I'm still within the 30 day window of being sure to get a new K3 as a replacement and not a refurb that I'd get if 6 months down the line it becomes a real problem - not that I've any problem with refurbs, I'm using a Mac refurbed laptop to type this - but if I pay for a new Kindle, I want a new Kindle. I buy Apple refurbs because they're only 2/3 the cost of a new one.
So - does this seem enough of a problem to warrant an exchange? Also, what if I do exchange and happen to get a unit with a darker screen than my K3 now - I'd prefer a wiggly button to a dark screen - would it be my option which to return, or could I say I'm not happy with either and would they send yet another exchange?

I'd exchange it. It may get worse as you use it more and if want a new unit you should do it now. I have the opposite problem on my K4, the buttons are stiff and hard to press. I think you have a chance to get a darker K3 screens if it's a KSO version. However not too many people have gotten a K3 like this. It's more predominant in the K4s it seems.
