Amazon Store blames Kindle problems on plastic clips

Amazon customer services in the UK have claimed that problems with the Kindle's leather cover, which cause the eReader to reboot for no reason, is caused by the plastic clips on the standard case.

The lighted leather case, which use metal clips to conduct power from the Kindle to the light, is immune to these problems. It's not clear why this is, but it wouls seem that the plastic clips on the standard cover somehow interfere with the lighting circuit on the Kindle, causing the problems.

Amazon.co.uk will credit affected users accounts with the £50.99 required to buy the lighted leather cover instead. From my friend experience, the process is painless one. Just make sure thet you call the amazon UK phone number, as the US site will attempt to refund you in dollars instead of pounds.
