Out of warranty, was using unlighted Kindle 3 cover. I've tried it all--Hard reboots, Factory reset, even a successful Kubrick re-flash. No luck. The unit continuously freezes, then after some time reboots itself, works properly for about a minute, and then starts the process over and over until the battery is dead.

The only thing I haven't tried is replacing the battery. Its it worth it at $20-$30?

Amazon will only offer me refurb replacements which don't seem to be a great deal.

Thoughts?
