Amazon has offered to provide a full refund to those who purchased a non-lighted Kindle cover for the Kindle.
The problems began when the Kindle case went on sale. The case scores many 5 star reviews, but at the same time has over 100 one-star reviews of people complaining that their Kindle freezes, crashes or reboots when using this particular case. One report says the following…
I bought a kindle 3 (Wifi Only) about 3 months back and was using it without any trouble. Then, I bought this leather cover and suddenly my kindle ran into all sorts of problems. The screen froze frequently, kindle rebooted itself more than 4-5 times daily. I don’t think it’s a good idea to buy this product before amazon gets its act together. They have certainly not done a good job with this cover. I am going to replace this cover as soon as possible. My two cents – DON’T buy this cover.

No official reasons have been given for the delays although we suspect its the weather that simply delayed shipments from reaching Carphone Warehouse stores around the country over the last few days. [Read more…]
The guys over at XDA Developers have managed to port the Google Nexus S Android 2.3 OS on to the older Samsung Galaxy S.
