I do always leave wifi on, though, so maybe that *does* make a difference?

The problems were intermittent, not exactly daily. Had I completely relied on Amazon, I probably would just have grit my teeth and endured. But I used Calibre for managing my books anyway (I have always bought from various stores, not only Amazon) and so I just started to populate my Kindles from Calibre too. End of problems.

The troubles were not only with stuck downloads, but also books not always opening or stuck indexing, and collections glitching, and possibly other bugs I no longer remember. Not every day or every week, but often enough that it annoyed me.
