It doesn’t happen often but unfortunately for Amazon that is exactly what has happened. Their K3 model has been recognized to be rebooting and freezing only whilst in its cover.

This will be music to Barnes & Noble’s ears as they have the main competitor in the market, the Nook. According to PCMag.com’s Mark Hachman, Amazon are going to honor any returns for the cover, offering either an exchange or full refund no matter how long ago of the cover was purchased.

It’s worth noting that the company hasn’t officially confirmed this as an actual problem, although they have told PCMag.com they have an engineering team looking into it.

Amazon have a problem page that you can view here, it shows some people who have experienced this issue amongst others. If you are experiencing the above problem and want to get a refund on the case, then you need to send an email to kindle-response@amazon.com.

Make sure you let us know how you get on in the comments below.

Amazon has kept quiet about the microphone, however one of SlashGear’s recent articles suggests that in the Kindle 3′s user guide the microphone gets a mention, here is the exact extract “the microphone is not currently enabled but is provided for future use”.

This has started off speculation surrounding what exactly this future use will entail, most of which point towards either voice navigation, audio annotations or perhaps some sort of voice call functionality.

I’m sure over the next few days or weeks rumors will continue to spread, therefore we will do our best to keep you informed with what we regard to be believable new functions.

What would you like this internal microphone to be used for?
