I JUST got my Kindle 2.0 and was very happy until I tried to connect it to my PC and nothing happened. The battery icon doesn't have a lightning bolt on it (it's about 90% charged right now so it SHOULD be charging when I hooked it up, shouldn't it?) but the yellow light at the bottom of the Kindle is lit. The Kindle's screen doesn't change to the USB screen that the How To guide said it should and my computer doesn't show an extra drive plugged into it or any other message. I tried plugging my Kindle into 3 different USB ports on my computer so it wasn't the USB port's fault. I'm hoping to bring this baby to work (to brag/show off with) and was really hoping to load it with some goodies tonight. Thanks!!

PS: I have wireless off at them moment. I don't think that would change anything, but just in case...
