Its not that big of a deal, but I just want to know whether I have a defective Kindle or not. When not wearing headphones, does anyone find that the Volume descends to levels that almost can't be heard when moving the Volume down only a little? I find that by the time the volume bar is moved back halfway, the sound can almost not be heard. 2/3 of the way and its as if there isn't any sound. Even when only moved back a little, the sound is not very satisfying (in other words, decent volume can only be attained when set to maximum). At first I thought my sound wasn't working.

I am hoping its just bad software leveling in the design (which I can live with, and can always be fixed through an update), and not my hardware.
