Update

Mack120 update :-)

Had the Kindle on charge for ages last night via an "iSound plus" double USB travel plug.Seemed to take ages still amber light after 4hrs+
The remembered my PSP had a combination plug shipped with it, two hours later GREEN LIGHT. This was at 02.30am. Flicked it on, did 15-30 reset.

Battery monitor now working normal.
Page turning now working as normal.
Very responsive no stutter and no response problems.
The joystick? Im getting used to.

So woke today happy chap, downloaded two books form the store both arrived in under 1-2 mins.

So grateful for the hope received off waingateman.

If your battery gets very low you may experience the problems that i had. Just imagine that you had waited for ages for this to be released over here, tracked it for three days and then you open it and it performs so badly. Then you can understand my very low mood. Well, that an Liverpool performances lately.

My Kindle is working like the adverts promised. RESULT
So after 1-2 yrs i am ebook reading again. RESULT
Also Amazon refunded me $20. RESULT
My old waterproof Ortlieb map case, (which i used with my PRS 505) fits the Kindle better even in the amazon cover. Bath time reading, see attached jpeg. RESULT

Getting to used the clicking of the buttons on the kindle. FINGERS CROSSED
Hoping for more UK books to be available. FINGERS CROSSED
Liverpool FC playing better. FINGERS CROSSED

Thanks for help and assistance
