Argh!!! Thanks for the reply, at least I know it's not just me. Right when I try using it for the very first time, no less. I have a knack for timing. One time I hooked up a new TV for my grandparents, and during the time I had everything unplugged, sometime AFTER I unplugged everything, but BEFORE I plugged it all back in, the cable went out. I spent hours trying to figure out what I hooked up wrong, only to find out it wasn't my fault at all. I guess I will just "try again later"...though this isn't exactly leaving a good first impression of their PC software, I must say.

*edit*...can I, perhaps, side-load the content onto my PC from my kindle? I'd suspect it might not work thanks to the DRM, but the thought just occurred to me. It downloaded fine to my k2 via 3g
