When I first got my Kindle 1 it would crash every so often when reading books. Then 1.0.4 came out and I never saw another crash. (then the poor thing tried to upgrade itself to 1.2 and died in the process, since replaced by Amazon)

Now I've had my Kindle 2 a few days and I've already had my first crash (while reading Use of Weapons) so I'm guessing the old adage about never buying revision 1.0 of anything still applies.

I wasn't using anything fancy at the time of the crash, just flipping along and then it froze and went back to the home screen. Re-opening the same book took me back to precisely where I'd been the last time I opened it.
