Rename them whatever works for you. Amazon has always had the problem of ghost devices showing up after updates etc. Making sure to edit the names to something meaningful helps you decide which ones can be removed.
ah but that's the problem. mine are all called kindle1, kindle2 or something like that, all the way to 10. I don't know which 'device' belongs to a real device.

and I surmise that if i found that out I still wouldn't know which directory on that machine it may be using - like this machine I have here has four drives attached to it and three of them have 'my kindle' directories on them.

One on the C: drive that I just made with all this recent hassle I'm having and the other two from previous installations - I've had a number of disk crashes, OS deaths and reinstalls.

I need,would like, a list of all 'devices' that I can match to machines and directories and then I'd know where I'm at.
