Sometimes I think my / the Touch is not as responsive as it should be. Maybe Amazon pushed it out the door too soon so it would be available this Christmas?

Add me to the sync and spontaneous reboot club. Mine seemed to be working fine until the last week or so when I first needed to hit the sync more than once then it went to hit sync many times sent it into a spontaneous reboot now it has added several spontaneously reboots in a row to this process before it downloads.
I would be calling customer service right now except it is Christmas eve. I will wait until next week to call. I am so glad I have a spare back up Kindle now to read it the Touch bites it further this weekend.

I would call now. After Christmas it will be a madhouse with all of the new Kindle users calling CS. |

From all the complaints on this thread I feel like I got really lucky! I have had a k1, k2, k3, DX, and now the touch. My Touch 3g +wifi is the only one of them that I have had work straight out of the box without any glitches. **crosses fingers for continued good fortune** It is responsive, turns pages as it should, and has never spontaneously rebooted. My NY Times downloads without problems. I bought it at Target a few weeks after release. They had run out a couple of times before I got it. It was after Thanksgiving I think. Maybe I got a newer batch? Were those of you who have had problems from early release? Well, from personal experience I know Amazon will take care of you. They did me, many times  |

I have the WiFi only and it has also worked perfectly since I've received it. Knock on wood! |

I just started a free trial of the NYTimes just to check...and it downloaded immediately as soon as I woke up Buffy the K-Touch. Will let you know tomorrow...

Back to square one. It took 12 taps on "sync and check for new items" before the paper downloaded this morning. Sigh...

Leslie, you have a lemon...the Sunday, Dec 25 NYTimes was on Buffy the KT this morning when I woke her up. Plus, I created a letter to put on the Kindles of the two grandgirls and sent several versions to Buffy to test drive them, and each time they downloaded without me even having to touch "sync." I'd definitely call CS. Betsy |

I have had spontaneous resettings also.
I thought it was just me that had the resettings. Maybe the next software update will solve that problem. John |

Hmmm. I leave WiFi on all the time. The battery lasts long enough I've never seen the point to turning it off.. Maybe that's the difference.  Betsy |

I've been doing as Betsy does. . .albeit on the K4. New blogs come down without me begging at all. I only turn WiFi off if I'm going to be a long time somewhere that there is no good connection -- like at Church last night. . . . .
