Thanks for the reply , i wasn't sure about it but will download it now .

I put 3.0.3 on mine, but I think it's main use is for the experimental stuff - the web browser etc.

I did "force" install the 3.0.3 but noticed nothing new or significantly improved. I was running point 1. I do use the browser occasionally and still noticed nothing changed.

Has your Kindle had the page turn-reboot problem since updating to the 3.03 firmware? This has only happened once (knock on wood) to my Kindle, and that was when it had the 3.02 firmware. I'm hoping it was just a one time glitch!

I applied the update and unless i'm imagining it, the page turns seem to have sped up a bit ..

Pageturning is a bit slow at the moment, though only forwards, not back. No spontaneous reboots, but last week my Kindle got stuck once when I turned a page.
I always hope it's a 'one time glitch' too, I mean: I wouldn't dare open my Kindle up and experiment a bit around with a screwdriver and some tape, as I'm used to do on our electrical appliances. With variable success, I must admit.
