3. When you are in the browser you can hit menu and save the current bookmark/website. When you finish browsing, turn off 3g, then go back to 3g browsing you will go to the last website you were looking at. Sorry I cannot give you any fancy tips, just play around with it youself and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

4. Don't use caliber to send anything directly via 3g to my kindles so I don't know. I usually just send them over using the usb lead, to the kindle documents folder. Fastest, and most reliable way to transfer them imho.

I have not had any problems with my DXG cover hinges. I think some of the problem is guys trying to open the wrong side (back). There is a nice little silver Kindle logo on the front of the cover so you really should not have any problems remembering how to do this.
Thanks for your help once again.

I was on the phone for well over an hour today with Customer Service and talked to 2 people. I now have been told you can't sync the DX (because of 2.5.8) personal documents. I could sync if I had two 3.3 Kindles. A real bummer for me. They should have been able to tell me that in the first 5 minutes instead of troubleshooting, reset, etc. etc. Sigh....But guess I will do what you do write down the location.

I do love reading it over the Kindle 3 because of obvious reasons less page turning.

I ordered the Kindle amazon cover since it hopefully will fit nicely in my 10" netbook zipper protector. I will have to mark the top of the side to open with a silk flower or something that I can feel in the dark (lol) since I read in the dark with my booklight.

So hard to believe they are dropping the DX because I do love it! What is wrong with the Amazon people who make decisions? The older generation (me) love bigger readers to see. Glad I glad the DX anyway.

Thanks again.
