The cover is defective
Your cover is defective if you have the following problems:
- Frozen screen - where the only fix is to perform a hard reboot
- Kindle inexplicably reboots itself
- Unusual, and rapid, battery drain
- Kindle loses track of what page you are on
- Kindle resorts your books, or forgets your folders
The problem is that the covers WITHOUT the built-in light short out the kindle 3 by the metal prong's paint coating wearing off and shorting out the wire designed to draw power for the cover WITH a light.
Horrible purchase and as a Peace Corps volunteer a problem with my Kindle is nothing short of catastrophic.
