I'm happy you like the book light! Sorry about all the returns. This is why I am sticking to my Kindle Fire from last year. It does everything I need it to. I'm partial to Android 2.2 or 2.3 as well. My newest toy is my Samsung Galaxy Player 5 I got yesterday. It's basically a 5" Android Tablet. Same price as the Kindle Fire but not as good specs but it does what I need it to do. I prefer portability and convenience over the HD for now. |

I had returned the Grantwood booklight, which is powered via the Kindle Keyboard contacts, because it crashed my KK, requiring a reset. The manufacturer contacted me to say that they would replace the light, but cautioned me that this cannot be the fault of the booklight -- rather, typically the fault of the Kindle contacts, requiring a replacement of the Kindle. I'm waiting for a replacement of the light, and am dreading how this is likely to work out. My KK warranty is up in a couple of weeks. |

It's the light. Several others if you read the reviews had this issue. |

Wow, Michele, even your Fires were defective? Sorry to hear about our troubles. I just shipped four defective PWs back today, along with a persimmon cover (replaced with a purple one, because I could not stand the color and the orangey frame around the kindle when opened was distracting). I feel liberated getting rid of all the defective devices- it has been a long and difficult road for me.

I'm sorry you're going through similar difficulties. Did you finally get a good Paperwhite at last? Last edited by Michele; 11-08-2012 at 09:52 PM. |

Michele, yes, I settled on the devices I could live with. None of them are perfect, but having gone through so many replacements, I realized that I will never see a perfect 1st gen PW, and I really love the interface.
