This program doesn't work with the Kindle on a Vista machine and probably not for Windows 7 (same basic architecture). It doesn't seem to do anything more than the Windows "Safely Eject..." icon in the system tray.

No one has mentioned that this was also a problem with the Kindle 2. It is a long-known problem that occurs on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. In earlier discussions about this months ago the Kindle support team has supposedly said that "they're working on it". When the Kindle 3 was released and had the same problem it was pretty obvious that they weren't. Instead we got the Facebook/Twitter interface.
