I would suggest posting this on the Kindle forums, or, you can use the Kindle customer support found here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_top_kindlelg?nodeId=200503360).....c lick on the 'contact us' button on the right, sign into your account, and choose the 'call me' option........someone can call you right away and walk you thru problems.
