Hi,
For no apparent reason, my K3 froze while reading.
I tried rebooting by holding the switch 30 secs etc, but with no avail. I connected to my pc, but did not show up. I charged it for about three hours (although the battery was more than 50%, and when I returned it had unfrozen. The problem now is that the screen saver picture is not complete, and looks like the picture attached.
When swithing back to the screen saver, the picture looks good for a fraction of a seccond, but quickly goes back to the picture as shown.
While reading the print also seems broken. (like missing pixels)
I opened up my kinde and found that a small screw had come loose and was roling around inside.

I love my keyboard. I tried the paperwhite II, but found the built in light very tiring at night.
thanks:
