Oh dear, too much stories about cracks in K3 in general for my taste... (some voice in my head is yelling "UV light sensitivity", but that's just that insolent voice that's always jumping to conclusions a bit too fast)

I destroyed a KDX by a terrible mistake not long after I bought it. Let's just say it ended up being somewhat round on the top quarter, something the glass armoring of the substrate wasn't able to cope with. However, to my great disbelief the device powered on and even drove some minor bit of the display quite well. Aside from the eink screen, it worked pretty well. I was honest with Amazon and their generosity on the matter will probably pay off well since I caught myself more than once making the case for them.

But I think the thread is long enough already as to not discuss the broken-screen traumas here :-) As for the problem reported, the easy test would be to power-cycle the device (i.e. hold power botton for 20s and power on again). There most probably are corner cases left where either us or Amzon or both messed up with the software :-P

@NuPogodi: Yes, maybe a naming change should take place at some point. Fun fact: There's alreasy a general document reader abstraction in place in the current version that's named "UniReader". So - I think that name would be appealing. However, that dreadful self-PR my hometown is running (though understandable, the university is its one and only asset) shall not profit from this if I can help it :-P
