Oh, they've heard about it. People have been complaining about it (myself included) for a long time.

There was a big rush of complaints after the Julia Spencer-Fleming give-away in June. After downloading the free book I ordered the other books in the series. The free book kept freezing my Kindle. I had Amazon remove them and refund my money on the other books because I couldn't deal with Topaz (I do have the free book as a pdf).

There's a thread about it here somewhere.

It seems to be hit and miss. The sample I downloaded for the thread about the Kindle's zoom feature worked fine but some others... not so good.
