Yeah, it was pretty weird when I looked at the files via USB and saw no creation or modification timestamp on them.

A couple of other tricks, not really shortcuts:

1. Holding down the next/prev page button or clicking them multiple times will cause Kindle 2 to turn several pages at once. Unfortunately, it's very slow while it does this; it'll update the page on the first page-turn and then just sit for a bit depending on how many pages you clicked. It's a pretty crude implementation that's more guesswork than anything useful.

2. If you're in author or title sort, you can click one letter on the keyboard and press the 5-way and go immediately to the place on the list with the first author or title under that letter alphabetically, *but only if that match exists*. So if you have no Q's, you can't get to the R's that way. Sadly this doesn't work at all in the Most Recent First listing, I guess because they don't know if they should match Title or Author (if only it gave you one or the other I'm be very happy).
