This was really a great find. Thanks so much!

This is, to me, actually preferable to having a physical, mechanical volume control. I always found that argument ("no physical volume control") kind of funny, because one of the other frequent complaints about the Fire was "too easy to hit the Power button". I'm sure that, had Amazon given the Fire a physical volume control, the complaint would have become "too easy to inadvertently change the volume setting".

I'm glad they kept the number of physical controls low - fewer mechanical parts to break or wear out, and fewer places of entry for moisture and dust.
