"Certified Frustration Free Packaging" - on the box seal.
We will see how far past the packaging I can get before the frustration appears.
Edit:
Screen ships with graphic of Kindle and location of the power button.
Labeled: "power on" in thirteen languages.
Hmmm....
Does that mean I am supposed to turn it on before taking it apart?
Edit 2:
Naw - will let it charge on USB cable first:
Code:

Ah, it is feeding, although it took it 0.643833 of a minute to get itself organized on the teat.
And the screen wants me to pick one of sixteen languages.
Which makes me think that 90C6 is the only model of the "Basic Kindle" that will be shipped.
Edit 3:
Kindle finished nursing, have green light and now a screen saver showing.
Its progress:

And guess what, Lab126 didn't bother to register a new USB identity for the device:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 1949:0004 Lab126 Amazon Kindle 3
- - - - -
Lab126 Score:
1 - They left two languages off of the power button graphic
2 - They re-used the Kindle 3 USB Vendor
evice ID rather than assign a new device ID for this "7th Generation" Kindle.

Next step :: Press the power button? Ah, no - just unplug it for now.
