While in China, my Kindle Keyboard broke. So I purchased a new one while there, and it came with Duokan already installed. Duokan's OK, but since it doesn't save my clippings in a file like Kindle does, I prefer the Kindle software. I can switch back to the original software, but I have 2 main problems:

1) I can't register my Kindle to my Amazon account. I have full Wi-Fi, but the Kindle tells me that I'm not connected, so I can't register. How can I register my Kindle so I can get my purchases sent directly to my Kindle through my @free.kindle.com e-mail? Is there a backdoor way view the serial number?

2) I can't create new collections on the Kindle software. I can't even click on it to try. I used Calibre to set up some collections, but then after I put the books into the collections, they now exist both in the collection and in the front page of my Kindle. What's the deal and how do I create collections another way?

Thanks.
