 Instead of going from the first item in a menu to the last item by selecting all the items in between, just press once on the Move Cursor Up button.

 For example, if you want to select Experimental in the Home menu (the default selected item is Shop in Kindle Store), you have to press the Move Cursor Down button 6 times. If it was a wrap-around menu, you'd have to press the Move Cursor Up button only twice.

It seems like this could help with the problem of the markings on the keys coming off. I have a Graphite and the upper left edge of the down arrow is fainter than the rest of the key. If you're scrolling down your home page and scrolling down menus a lot, it is arguably the key that is most used. If the menus wrapped around I would have pressed the down arrow a lot less.
