I haven't seen this with mine. I've listened to full CDs using Amazon Cloud from 35' away without a glitch, and Netflix streaming was problem-free at the same distance.

There's always going to be some people with wiif issues though, every router at Newegg and Amazon has people claiming it doesn't work for them.

so it's as buggy as apple's wifi software?

I've heard of this but it hasn't happened to me. However, I have had a "sleep of death" issue that appears to have come up for a lot of people since updating to the 6.2 software. If I leave the KF sleeping and unattended for a long time, it sometimes doesn't wake up when I press the power button. I have to hold down for ~10 seconds (which forces it to power off, like pulling the battery), then press the power button for it to start up again.

Hopefully this gets fixed. Apparently 6.2 fixed some of the touchscreen responsiveness issues but I guess it added this extra problem. Good thing is that Amazon has shown they're committed to supporting the device with ongoing patches.
