I just got my Kindle today, after having been on wait since 12/1.

I had a couple of questions regarding fit/finish.

1) My wireless switch protrudes about half as much as the power on/off switch. When wireless is off, it's actually almost flush with the casing because of the curves. To turn it back on, I have to hook a fingernail on the switch.

2) The left hand next page button seems somewhat crooked. The side closer to the bottom of the Kindle is noticeably raised a bit from the side on the top (not a lot, maybe .5mm or so, but it's raised). The rest of the buttons fit the contours of the device more closely.

Is this in line with others? If not, I may ask for an exchange (however long -that'll- take).

Given the wait and demand, I'd feel a little sheepish calling customer service with an RMA on these types of issues, but the wireless switch is a PITA because it makes it very fiddly to turn wireless on with the cover attached.
