I love my graphite Kindle 3. It is extremely readable in the brightest sunlight compared to an iPad or Nook. However, the bright sunlight posed another problem I didn’t anticipate. It wasn’t long before the graphite case was almost too hot to touch. It was so hot that I worried that excessive heat might result in electronic failure. So I thought I’d better avoid direct sun and sought some shade. Now I’m thinking that a white case would have been a better choice if lying in the sun to read was a major use of the Kindle.

Agreed that there are quite a few complaints.

The thing is – I use my Kindle 3 a lot, and have a graphite Kindle and the numbers are fine. So not sure whether it’s 2% getting affected and being very loud about it, or whether it’s 15%.

THere is one REALLY big difference in the two. MANY complaints (including mine) have been made that the keyboard on the graphite fades. I have heard NO complaints from those w/ white ones. So I returned my replacement Kindle because the keyboard was more faded on that than my original. I have since sent back my original for a refund.. and plan to purchase a white one.

“If you change your mind about kindle graphite vs kindle white down the line the Kindle 3 color is easily changed via a skin.”

Good point. Obvious too (after it’s been made). I’m surprised this is the first place I’ve read it.

I’m debating getting a Kindle 3 – possibly wifi only – but even if I sprung for the 3G, it would be a graphite. I find it more aesthetic, and definitely like the adding to the screen contrast aspect.
