Anyone else having Force Closes with the Kindle app? I just can't get it to run at all, FC every instance. Seems the update to fix crashes is causing me to crash now...worked fine previously. Any advice?

I've read that there's a christmas background that is triggered by date. If you change the date in your archos settings it should fix it for now.

I watched Logcat.log and it ripped though memory like a hot knife in butter. Basically, it looks like the snow season effects are memory and cpu intensive. As it was trying to load, Android went into a kill rampage killing off ALL background apps in a attempt to maintain memory... but it runs out.. perhaps because the Archos only has 256mb.

I hear changing the date to the 26th works too.

edit: looks like the just released a fix for the memory issue!

Yeah thankfully new release works as intended! I had used the date trick, setting it to the 21st, and that worked too...just glad to have my date current again, lol...
