Sounds worthy of Microsoft!
The update is that last night, the device "rebooted" itself spontaneously after running relatively slowly for days. I know I jinx things but I'm astonished at seeing this so soon. It's how I found Mobileread in the first place, googling when my old Keyboard did that - but it was much older and I'd over-stuffed it with books and samples and converted PDFs and webpages via Instareader (or whatever that's called) and SENDtoREADER for years before that problem began.
Anyway, I'm not prepared to debrick such a new kindle so I have initiated a return with Amazon and requested a brand new one.
Doesn't solve my curiosity about all these questions but it does get them out of my hair, at least if similar doesn't happen with the replacement.
Can a corrupt file cause this kind of thing? I mean one of the documents having some sort of corruption, which somehow confuses the kindle?
