OK, truth is -- I'm bored, and with nothing better to do, I'm going to whine and moan.

I have a new Kindle on order, and every time I buy a book from Amazon it sends it to the new kindle, which I don't have yet, instead of sending it to my old Kindle. (I know, my problems are just awful.)

There is a drop down list that allows me to choose which Kindle to send it to at the time of purchase. The problem is that the "new" Kindle's name is the default Kindle in this list. If I paid attention this wouldn't be a problem. However, paying attention is not my strong suit.

I could also fix the problem by changing my current Kindle's name to something like "Asmodeus" so that it would appear first in the drop down list. However, I prefer whining. It doesn't help anything but it makes me feel better.

Really this all Amazon's fault. My original Kindle's name is "David's Kindle" and Amazon is calling the new one "David's 2nd Kindle" and the latter name comes first alphabetically. Thus the problem. Amazon could have called it "David's Kindle DX" an no problem. So -- stupid Amazon.

OK, better now.
