I am really curious what ARM instructions are working on the K1 but failing on the PW3.

If I were THAT intereseted though, I could write an assembly language instruction test suite, and test it on all the kindles I own.

I can now see why android strongly recommends that developers code their apps in java rather than native mode (and kinda sorta amazon too), to avoid having android apps that only work on small segments of the phone market (though in reality, that is really the case anyway even with java apps, being dependent on other hardware and features in the phones, and artificial limitations imposed on lesser models by manufacturers).
