I do believe that there was a fix on one of the firmware updates that made it so that the book doesn't download if it's already there.

Another fix (not helpful in this exact situation) is to buy books and send them to your computer, rather than the Kindle, at which point it is not marked "pending" and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

This was before "Kindle PC," so ALL my books were sent (and continue to be sent) to my computer for transfer to my Kindle 2 by USB.

Now that I have "Kindle PC" loaded onto my computer, I still choose to have titles sent to my computer. Interestingly, only about 10 titles are showing "Pending," whereas the other 40-50 books I've bought do not show this.

I'm in Peru, remember.
