Um. The Kindle came with a sort of sticky plastic sheet that covered the entire face of it, screen, keyboard, joystick and all. I took that off first thing. There doesn't seem to be anything special over the joystick itself, that I can see.

Plus I'm reaching the menu by pushing the menu button, rather than the joystick. The menu sometimes flashing and disappearing seems to happen even when I don't try to use the joystick to pick anything--so even when I'm not touching the joystick at all.

I'm beginning to wonder if some part of the internal workings of the menu button is "sticky"--acting as if the menu button is being held down when it's not.

If nobody else is seeing this phenomenon, maybe it's time for me to call Kindle support... (sigh) I purely hate the thought of having to give up my lovely Kindle, though.
