My new Kindle 3G went blank.
Hello all,

I just got the new Kindle 3G about two days ago. All the sudden the screen went blank to a static home page. I tried to reboot by sliding power bottom and nothing worked. Then after hour or so the device is working again. Any ideas?

Hi bariir and welcome to MobileRead. I've no idea what could have caused that. You might try posting your question in the Kindle section

Welcome to mobileread ....

There is a kindle forum on the site, there may be a solution for you there, but given how new this model is I suspect Amazon would be the best contact for you.

Yeah, I'd definitely call Amazon Customer Service.

One of my fears is that demand has been so high for the K3 that production has outstripped QA. Hope this is just my innate pessimism.
