* I haven't tried creating subfolders under Documents to see what happens to the menu. Has anyone else tried that? It'd be a nice way to organize, say, Lois McMaster Bujold's books if the folder showed up on the menu.

Although you can create your own (sub-)folders in the Document folder, the Kindle still shows a flat (single-level) display in the main menu. True folder support is something people have been asking for and which was not included in the K2. (Dare I say "yet"?)

* The thickness of this critter is less than the original Kindle (designate it K1) as I saw someone else reading on the way home last week.
* The Kindle-side plug of the USB connection is not a standard I'm familiar with; it is smaller than the standard mini-USB plug.

Yes, .36″ is too thin for even mini-USB. The unit uses a micro-USB connector.

* Because Baen Webscriptions can be read on the Kindle, we spent $11 on Webscription books last night (re-buying some Vorkosiverse which we have hardcopy for) and expect to spend between $50 and $100 more in the next year. That's IN ADDITION to money we spend at Amazon and elsewhere.

I'm a real fan of Baen's Webscriptions site. Make sure to look through the 117 free books and download any of those you want to read.
Indeed!
Welcome to MobileRead. We're glad to have you here and you're definitely getting off to a wonderful start by posting helpful information from your initial use of the Kindle.
(How long are you going to be able to get by with just one Kindle for the two of you?)
