The Syncing features are intriguing. What does it mean exactly?
This probably means that Amazon's server "knows" where you are in each ebook. If so, then this is to get ready for upgrades from Kindle 1 to Kindle 2. From Exciting News Getting in Line For 2nd Generation Kindle:

One thing that Amazon knows is that one of the biggest sources for Kindle 2.0 orders will be previous Kindle 1.0 buyers. That's the main reason the company is presently in the middle of a firmware upgrade (1.2) to streamline synchronicity between multiple Kindles assigned to a single customer account. It is also the reason the company recently opened its own Marketplace features to allow easy after-market sales of Kindle 1.0 units by Kindle owners.
