3. No support for AV enabled kindle books! WTF? Couldnt load 11/22/63!
4. No support for embeded pdf in my favorite e-edition newspaper. Wont display Houston Chronicle web edition either.
5. Web browser url entering and correcting a real PIA.
6. No page numbers!
7. Calibre wont recognize it when connected to usb.
Any suggestions, before I decide to return it?

1, 2: a cover should help
3: Amazon should be delivering text-only edition. For example, I have the A/V enabled 'Jacqueline Kennedy' and I can download it to Fire (or a Kindle), but they strip out the AV content. If you are trying to side load what you use on your iOS device, it won't work. If the wireless delivery isn't working either, call CS. I'm sure they'll get around to AV enabling the Fire app at some point.
4. not sure what you are trying to do
5: its no worse than any touch device I've used
6: they will get around to it eventually
7: you need the latest version of calibre, which added support for Fire.
