I have notice in my (very small) collection of K2 devices that the volume buttons are first to break - mechanically.
I knew that question was coming and I can honestly say that I don't know. I might have tested the TTS at some point but, I cannot definitively answer yes or no. I want to lean toward yes but, that would be pure guesswork and speculation.

It would be interesting to hear from some others running the version 3 firmware if the buttons work for them. However, it would make perfect sense that due to the different positioning of the buttons between Kindle 2 and Kindle 3, the firmware might not be able to handle it.

I would also like to ask, what would people suggest doing with my Kindle 2 if I can successfully downgrade in terms of hacks/tweaks that aren't related to upgrading firmware?
