I d/l a few books today off manybooks and feedbooks on my computer for the kids. I hooked the kindle to my computer and I kept getting a USB malfunction device message and the screen on the kindle stayed in reading mode without having to remove hardware from the computer. I tried to reconnect the kindle to my computer several times and computer would not recognize it. (laptop running windows xp)
I finally went to try using my desktop (also xp) same thing.
I cut the kindle off and tried again both computers and also restarted both computers, same thing. I finally gave up, set the kindle to a book my mother was reading and left to go pick up the kids from school.
I came back thinking I'd have to call amazon cs, but attempted again on the laptop. It worked correctly. I have no idea what called the foul up or what made it work again.
Also I did try my kindle out in the sun today. 80 degrees full sun. I did not notice lighter font, but I was reading the amazon blog and photos did show word ghosts in them. I did not do a screensaver to see what the ghosting looked like with them.
