The shinier buttons? Looking at my Kindle, the plastic of the casing and the plastic of the buttons are noticeably different. The casing is smooth and slightly shiny whilst the buttons are slightly rough and aren't shiny at all.

Hmm. Thats not normal. I don't think I've ever experienced that on my Kindle.

I push on the 5 way with the tip of my finger. No problems at all with it but I'm used to tiny buttons on phones.
If you don't care about hacks then you should install the 3.1 firmware. It fixes some bugs and adds some new features but does alter the appearance of the location bar whilst you're reading. There are plenty of threads about it on here so just read through those. I assume that your Kindle came with 3.0.2?
