1. Ok I think I might have an issue with the USB driver installed on my desktop for this Kindle, I plugged it into my laptop and it showed up correctly and was working... might have to play around with the driver on the desktop PC. Thanks.

2. I am using the Merriam Webster 1913 dictionary, I have also tried the Oxford dictionary, which seems to have a lot less formatting problems, but it still has the HTML tags in the definitions.

Here's a screen shot of what I see:




***Update***
Ok so I fixed the problem on my desktop and now the USB is working!!

Here's what I did in case anyone else runs into this problem:
I'm running Win 7 Corp 64-bit btw.

1. In My Computer right click the driver letter which Kindle appears as, it will say something like "Removable Drive K:", etc.
2. Select 'Properties'
3. Select the 'Hardware' tab.
4. Here you will see a list of hardware devices currently connected to your PC, select the 'Kindle Internal Storage USB Device'.
5. Click the 'Properties' button at the bottom right screen corner.
6. Switch to the 'Driver' tab in the new window that popped up.
7. Select 'Uninstall' button at the very bottom to uninstall the driver.
8. You will be asked to reboot your PC, do that and unplug your Kindle for now, wait for reboot to complete.
9. Once you're back in Windows, just plug in your Kindle, give it a minute and the driver for Kindle will re-install itself and everything should be working at this point! Worked for me!

:-)
