oops, and i've never run into this issue before. i use it that way to indicate that whatever i might have written in the body of the post, i'm not really angry.
the point i was making was related to this. when i got my kindle 3 graphite it was 7 months after the initial shipment of them. i'd since read that the letters & numbers being quickly rubbed off of the keys & buttons was a problem with only the initial production run of the graphite model. anyway, to be extra careful i trained my self to press the buttons with as minimal contact and abrasive motion as i could. hence the pressing of the buttons with a fingernail that neither slips at all and the contact point is very small. also when possible i avoid any direct contact with the printed characters (which is really easy with the larger keys/buttons). now it's second nature.
